I like it a lot myself and would never remove it. The plan is to add a "show
visual border" option. Even if you don't enable it all the time, it will save
you the "open with GIMP, crop, save" steps. (Something I have done quite a
few times by now)

It's good to know that not everyone else dislikes it, though.

But he does make good points. I think he is not criticizing the palette but
the fact that it is overcrowded, and with experimental stuff too. There
should be some way to hide brushes, for example a brush could have
subbrushes that are usually hidden. Same for the brush settings.

But none of this will be my next priority.

Nice one! I especially like the subtle color tones.


Just to give some update, I put most of my (currently very limited) spare
time into other projects. But I have recently studied the Gogh sourcecode a
bit closer and got really excited how painlessly ellegant Aleksey has
implemented the layer compositing. This makes me want to try something
similar for MyPaint. (Btw. his homepage seems down at the moment.)

And as soon as I get alpha channels working I will also take complaints
about the missing eraser more serious ;-)

Martin
