Awesome! Now I've sorted out the latest crazy set of changes, I'll take a look. > I also want to help to develop it further.

We could probably just extend the length of the list of history colours without too much effort, but we need to do it in a way that's sensitive to the other uses of the colour history like the last-5 popup on the x key. I guess that could just do its cycling thing on the top 5 within the longer "palette" style view. Easy enough to reuse the existing palette drawing code too. However I'd like to have something that says "timeline" or "sequence" more, just to distinguish it in appearance from the user's current palette. Some sort of sequence of coloured chevrons ">>>>" maybe? But I'm not sure how that would look or how the pointy bits would flow at the ends of lines. Sketches and designs welcome! A command to copy the history to the user's palette, and some simple numeric setting for the length would be all the extra stuff needed, I guess. I like keeping the floating/dockable palettes as simple as possible because, well, we're *not* the GIMP/Sai/Photoshop :) -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
