I'll just clarify a couple of things here:
> but I'm not sure about the placement of the widget.. ..I don't think the transparency is necessary either. Placement clearly is a preference. People might even want to change where Tito appears wrt what they're working on. So we've made it adjustable in the preferences. Similarly for transparency. We've looked at HUD. You could say the mac help system also does something similar. HUD works only based on the Unity's global menu. And Gnome hasn't planned on developing something like the HUD yet. Besides, the idea here is to tightly bond with the gimp so we can customize needs rather than leave it to the desktop environment. Even right now, Tito has gimp specific features that the HUD doesn't. (See specs). Tito has the potential to grow more useful than the HUD can be wrt gimp. uses resources and increase the size of the application Tito is quite light weight. Like the procedure browser... :) On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 9:28 PM, gespert...@gmail.com <gespert...@gmail.com>wrote: > Oh, forgot to mention but it's important: > Ubuntu just released 12.04 with a new feature: HUD.
