# Topics To Be Covered In This Post

# Pushing to Gerrit
#

This week, major work was completed for the AGL Demo Control Panel and commits were made for review on Gerrit. The following changes have been pushed so far:

Changes pushed so far:

User preference
#

The settings page saw the inclusion of new parameters for the user to configure including

  • Port: No longer hard-coded into the application.
  • AGL’s CA.pem (Toggle): Optional parameter if the user wants to test on local builds of databroker and kuksa-val-server.
  • Drop-down combo box to pick default configs specified in config.ini.

Config
#

The default configuration is no longer loaded into the settings page by the config.py module, instead, it acts as a relay module to parse the user’s preferred configuration(s) specified in the config.ini file.

The new implementation allows the user to reconnect to a different instance of the kuksa server(s) seamlessly, as the new config is loaded and fed to the kuksa_instance.py module based on the state of the parameters of the settings page.

UI Tweaks
#

The main UI of the AGL Demo Control Panel saw some quality and functional changes this week, including:

  • Grab handle is now available at the bottom-right of the main window to help resize the window.
  • Settings page was revised to follow a 2 column layout to make the preferences more accessible and legible.

# What Next?
#

  • Improve handling for script toggle for IC page.
  • Update documentation.
  • Continue pushing code to Gerrit and issue patched as required.
