TouchUI

A touch friendly interface for a small TFT module or phone

OctoPrint-TouchUI

This plugin will transform the OctoPrint layout into a Mobile/TFT friendly layout. With larger buttons and a responsive layout down to the smallest resolution possible. It will mimic pointer events as touch, so you can hook up those touchscreens. It also supports a virtual keyboard.

All these settings are set client-side, so we won’t interfere with other clients. All settings are stored in your localstorage or as a delicious cookie. You can find the TouchUI settings in a dedicated modal. Remember they’re stored on your device, so if you login with your desktop computer you won’t get the touch interface.

Configuration

The interface will automatically start when your browser is smaller then 980 pixels in width or if you’re browsing with a touch device. You can turn this manually on and off in the TouchUI settings modal. Alternatively you can force TouchUI to load by adding #touch on the end of your URL.
