[Gimp-developer] [OT] Adobe Developers have a sense of humour
I never knew Adobe Developers had a sense of humour. They have been hiding easter egg splash screens in Adobe Photoshop for ages: http://www.aresluna.org/guidebook/apps/photoshop/aboutboxeasteregg Although this might be a little bit off topic I think the site provides a useful collection of screenshots which should come in handy if anyone needs a reference or wants to make any comparisions in future http://www.aresluna.org/guidebook/apps/photoshop (Pointed out to me by Krita developer Boudewijn Rempt.) Hope some of you find it interesting or even useful.

I knew the Toys: GeeZoom, and Gee Slime; were Easter eggs but I've never looked for or accidentally discovered any easter eggs in the GIMP. A quick web search later [1] and I see holding Ctrl+Alt and then choosing Help, About will reveal a special About dialog in the GIMP as well as in photoshop. Must mention this to the Inkscape developers, they are having difficulty choosing a new splash screen from the wonderful entries they have received: http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/5828886/#inkscape-splash Sincerely Alan Horkan Inkscape http://inkscape.org Open Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org [1] http://user.fundy.net/morris/photoshop13.shtml ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Most GIMP versions are completely peppered with easter eggs. It's sort of sad that they go so unnoticed despite it being open-source (so much for peer review :)) so I'll 'out' them that much. --adam -- Adam D.

I should perhaps reveal some of the older ones then ... You used to get a window with the Slimy Gee effect for the current image by saving it with the .k extensions (any sufficiently large number of e's will do). This was with GIMP 1.2 IIRC. There also used to be more fun in the About dialog. Typing the right word there you could get the Is it still there Wilber appear on each new image you opened. Very scary. We should definitely add some new things for GIMP 2.4. If someone has a nice idea, try to sneak it into CVS unnoticed...
