Because I'm trying to make the background a more accessible thing, basically almost a layer in its own right (albeit not a paintable layer). The "show background" toggle affects what Merge Visible and Merge Down do now - both these commands now strive to be WYSIWYG, i.e. to retain what you see on the screen after the merge, so background visibility is rather fundamental to their operation. If the background is turned off, you get a "pure" merge that doesn't pick up elements from it. I'd like to make the (still fairly hidden) background a layer in the layers tree, albeit a special one at the bottom that can't be moved and which is always "locked". But that's future work. As for dialogs... we probably do need to consider how client-side windows are affecting their appearance, and try to make things nice and consistent. Definitely something for a final polishing pass though. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
