While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Introduction

This is an example of dialog creation with PySide.

In this example, the entire interface is defined in Python. Although this is possible for small interfaces, for larger interfaces the recommendation is to create .ui files through Qt Designer, and load these in the program.

Use QColorDialog to get a color

Complete code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# https://deptinfo-ensip.univ-poitiers.fr/ENS/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QColor.html
import PySide
from PySide import QtGui ,QtCore
from PySide.QtGui import *
from PySide.QtCore import *
path = FreeCAD.ConfigGet("UserAppData")

couleur = QtGui.QColorDialog.getColor()
if couleur.isValid():
    red   = int(str(couleur.name()[1:3]),16)    # decode hexadecimal to int()
    green = int(str(couleur.name()[3:5]),16)    # decode hexadecimal to int()
    blue  = int(str(couleur.name()[5:7]),16)    # decode hexadecimal to int()

    print(couleur)                              # 
    print("hexadecimal ",couleur.name())        # color format hexadecimal mode 16
    print("Red   color ",red)                   # color format decimal
    print("Green color ",green)                 # color format decimal
    print("Blue  color ",blue)                  # color format decimal

Use QColorDialog to create a palette of colors (standard and custom)

This example modify the Standard color and the Customize color with the Tango FreeCAD guide.
