[Gimp-developer] 4 annoying things in Gimp
1. When designing complicated project for example cd cover I often have to chain and unchain layers. Would be nice if gimp would have option - unchain all. 2. I can't make gradients bigger the current image area. Couldn't it work like other tools. 3. Every time I want to move layer using move tool I have to click on this layer first to be able to use arrows keys on keyboard 4. I have to click on the top of image window to go to fulscreen mode (pressing TAB) ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

But I suggest some changes: EB 1) there's too much wasted space on the top. this is the place that users EB see first, and currently it's a green bg. The dark menu should be on top. EB 2) the text should be text, not images. This font looks nice, but it seems EB not common. I haven't read the html, but it shouldn't be implemented as EB images just to use that font. This allows for users to change size and even EB the font (from useit). EB 3) there's 2 menus that look similar. it's better to have just one or make EB two menus with clearly different purposes. EB 4) -minor- there's 3 green bgs. Why not use an image bg and a solid color EB bg? EB 5) -minor- the dark menu could be horizontal (placed on top of the website). EB also there's no need to label it menu. the blueish color may be used as a EB hover effect. EB 6) there's no graphics, at minimum place a logo that links to the EB /index.html (from useit, in /index.html it shouldn't be a link) and EB -optional- some screenshots. 1.Yes, the top is too big but I can be easily reduced by almost a half. 2. But it looks nice however it be changed with more common font 3. As a matter of fact submenu is optional too. 4,5,6 This is just prototype -- Pozdrawiam, damianzalewskiMój mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Re: [Gimp-developer] Webdesign is wrong
gcn I agree that the tools should aimed towards top end users not splicing. gcn Gimp's declared aim is to provide tools for creating elements for web gcn design not page layout. Does it really mean I have to use separate program to make few cuts. And how can I make web page without slicing ? -- Pozdrawiam, damianzalewskiMój mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp save for web
AJ Hi, AJ Save for web plug-in is getting closer to usable state (version 0.18.0 AJ so far). (For those, who got 0.15 version please update to recent, as AJ it had saving bug.) AJ The plug-in now has most of the stuff that has been suggested as AJ improvement on this mailing list. Most important is that previews AJ update much faster and it is much more comfortable to experiment (but AJ I am not sure if this wouldn't cause problems on slow PCs) AJ BTW, It could be good time to discuss how far it is from vision of AJ GIMP user top request number seven. AJ ___ AJ Gimp-developer mailing list AJ Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU AJ https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer Integrating slice plugin with save for web would simplify a lot of webdesigner work. Anyway it is long expected feature and it looks like Gimp moves forward. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Webdesign is wrong
What gimp is not: not a web page mock-up application I brought up web mock-ups, but we realised that seriously supporting this would mean introducing a ton of functionality; it is better done in a specialised application I really don't understand what tons of functionality you mean. The most bothering shortcoming for webdesign workflow is slice tool and save for web (integrated into one app). Maybe your research methods are wrong. Webdesigners DO NOT design elements of page separately. Webdesigners DO NOT slice page and then open sliced files to save them for web. It would be great waste of time. As a matter of fact approach 'not a web page mock-up application' means that gimp is useless for any modern form of webdesign. PS I didn't intend to offend anyone. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
