Interface Customization/zh

Introduction
The FreeCAD interface is based on the modern Qt toolkit and has a state-of-the-art organization. Some aspects of the interface can be customized. You can, for example, add custom toolbars, with tools from several workbenches or tools defined in macros, and you can create you own keyboard shortcuts. But the menus and default toolbars that come with FreeCAD and its workbenches cannot be changed.


 * The Workbenches tab is no longer available. Its functionality has been moved to the Available Workbenches tab in the Workbenches section of the Preferences Editor.



Usage

 * 1) The commands available in the Customize dialog box depend on the workbenches that have been loaded in the current FreeCAD session.  So you should first load all workbenches whose commands you want to have access to.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the [[Image:Std_DlgCustomize.svg|16px]] Std DlgCustomize command:
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) * Right-click a toolbar area and choose from the context menu.
 * 5) The Customize dialog box opens. For more information see Options.
 * 6) The  button starts the [[Image:Std_WhatsThis.svg|16px]] Std WhatsThis command.
 * 7) Press the  button to close the dialog box.

Options
In the Customize dialog box the following tabs are available:

Keyboard


On this tab custom keyboard shortcuts can be defined. Shortcuts for macro commands can be defined on the Macros tab.

Search
You can search for commands by entering at least 3 characters of their menu text or name in the search field. The search is case-insensitive.

It is also possible to search for shortcuts:
 * In the search field special keys in shortcuts must be entered as strings. For example to search for commands that use in their shortcut enter  (4 letters).
 * Add parenthesis to search for single character shortcuts, for example:.
 * Add a comma and space between the characters of multi-character shortcuts, for example:.

Add a shortcut

 * 1) Select a command category from the Category dropdown list.
 * 2) Select a command from the Commands panel.
 * 3) * Optionally click the, or  column headings to reorder the list.
 * 4) * Optionally drag the splitter to the right of the panel to resize it.
 * 5) The Current shortcut box displays the current short cut, if available.
 * 6) Enter a new shortcut in the New shortcut input box. Shortcuts can be up to 4 inputs long. Each input is either a single character, a combination of one or more special keys or a combination of one or more special keys and a character. Use  to correct mistakes.
 * 7) Other active commands (see Notes) that already use the shortcut will be listed in the Shortcut priority list.
 * 8) Press the  button to assign the new shortcut.
 * 9) If the Shortcut priority list contains more than one command: optionally change its order by selecting individual commands and pressing the  button or the  button. If active commands share the same shortcut, the shortcut will trigger the one that is highest in the list.

If you want to use a macro downloaded from a different source you will have to install it manually. See How to install macros for more information. Note that FreeCAD uses a dedicated folder for macros and only macros in that folder can be set up. Use the Std DlgMacroExecute command to find this folder on your system.

 * 4) Optionally enter a Status text. This text will appear in the status bar when you hover the toolbar icon.
 * 5) Optionally enter the wiki page for the macro, if available, in the What's this input box. Enter the page name, not the full URL.
 * 6) Optionally enter a shortcut in the Accelerator input box. See Keyboard for more information.

 * 8) Press the Pixmap  button.

Themes
FreeCAD supports complete theming of the interface, via .qss stylesheets. The qss format is very similar to the css format used in web pages, it basically adds methods to reference the different widgets and elements of the Qt interface. You can change the default theme (which simply takes the style defined by your desktop system) by selecting a style sheet in the FreeCAD preferences.

You can also create your own theme if you are not satisfied with the themes that are bundled with FreeCAD, for example by editing an existing style sheet. Your new style must be placed in a specific folder for it to be found by FreeCAD:
 * (on Windows). The folder can be retrieved by entering  in the Python console.
 * (on Linux).
 * (on macOS).

Addons
Addons from the Addon Manager offer yet another way to customize the user interface. Several Preference Packs to change the theme are available.

In the Workbenches category of the Addon Manager some addons by user triplus can be found:
