Any way to customize Klipperscreen?

[DennisM]

It seems like the answer is no but has anyone tinkered with trying to customize the Klipperscreen interface? I want to make some changes but it seems like it's not possible.

But .. I can code in python so I'm going to take a crack and trying to do what I need. Ideally:

• add the current layer to the main display
• add custom buttons for: calibrate_z, G32, and any other macros I might want to have buttons for.
• I'd like to see more interesting icons, and I know there's just a bunch of SVGs to swap out so this would be easy

For the custom buttons, I know under macros there are ways to launch them there, but I'm more interested in either swapping some existing ones I don't use or adding new ones.

I looked around and it doesn't seem like FLUIDD has a touchscreen UI, does that sound right? And the PanelDue thing seems like there isn't much info on it, so I am not sure about that guy. And it's a bit pricey.

Yes, you can customize Klipperscreen.

It's not easy to figure out. I added a couple things to mine, but it was such a PITA I set aside any project for more customization for another day.

I should add that I'm not interested in moving to Octoprint/Octodash. I already use that on my Mizar S and love it there, but want to stick with Klipper for the Voron.

Been looking to add some profiles to klipperscreen, but I gave up, seems to be a real pain in the ass to do this, so I do all from the GUI in the browser.

Can't agree more. Klipperscreen is not my main interface, mainsail is. Klipperscreen helpful for quick adjustments. But then ...... I cannot program. The only Python I know is a BIG snake.

I looked at that link and it's just an overview of the panels. Did you have any additional info on what / how you figured out how to change things on the UI?

That's about all there is. Under Setup/Configuration in the Menu section is what's available to go on for setting up a custom config. Like I said, a PITA. I mainly themed it and managed to add one button to a panel to run my nozzle clean macro. I haven't gone beyond that. It was a struggle to even get that done & I chose to spend my energy elsewhere. On the github, you have the same docs just not as pretty.
