When there are values in the variables, the lines seem unnecessary. But when the variables have no values, they look “off to the right”. I do like this most recent layout though. Inclined towards no lines, personally. The visual clutter bothers me more than any sense of “off-center”.

Another idea: don’t try to center this. Left-justify it.

A   1234    X  1234
B   1234    Y 23444
C  -1234    Z  -120
D   -120    T  1234

Now, looking on a screen mock up with different brightness grades for variables and values I like this one too. I think the version without dotted lines might fit better with the icons. Also the lines make it look like a stream like in tracker view, which it is not.

So I’d vote for the left picture.

EDIT: Having the variables on the left side as @jasonw22 suggested would make the whole block easier to center on the screen.

Could you try the line between the label and the value, but keep the original justification?

Looks like people like this. If you can annotate the offsets, I’ll mock it up in code!

@sliderule was this final version implemented?
If so: is there a .hex file for it?

#123

Nope, I’ve been working on other things. It should be done today.

Edit: procrastination is fun. Maybe tomorrow? :stuck_out_tongue:

I see you are all over Teletype! :slight_smile: just was not sure if I missed it or not.
When you post the hex, could you .zip the file? Seems like there are some issues with downloads that are solved by zipping files for transport.
Looking forward to it!
Thank you for all your work!

The variables monitor looks and works great! It is very useful, especially when working with the new CHAOS features.

Thank you for developing this!

So, is this build safe to install or buggy?

#131

It works with all the tests that I’ve run, but I’m getting strange errors on subsequent builds. Maybe a linking error. It’s possible that Alpha 2 suffers from some problem that I don’t know about yet :frowning:

#132

There was no problem with Alpha 2, but Alpha 3 is out now (also with no problems).

Doesn’t look quite balanced to me.

#134

i suspect this would be a regression, but shifting the live vars down a line might work. the error message line is visible rarely

8 pixels to the right maybe?
