To get started, make sure you have a copy of the QGroundControl repository. If you are using a custom build already, you can skip to the next step here. QGroundControl can be cloned from here:
Once that is cloned and you can build the project, we are ready to get started on customizations.
If you need to install QGroundControl, the documentation can be found here https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/qgc-dev-guide/getting_started/
If you are using a pre-existing build, you must clean your build directory first.
- Start by renaming the
custom-exampledirectory tocustom. - Next, change to the renamed
customdirectory. - Run
python updateqrc.py. - Build QGC.
This should build successfully, and if we run it, our new customizations will be applied.
You can switch from Indoor or Outdoor mode from the settings under Miscellaneous in the Color Scheme drop down
- Indoor mode is Dark Mode
- Outdoor mode is Light Mode
