well, thanks for the thanks.  i am not so good with that, it seems.

in truth, however, these handful of tutorials were nothing to produce
compared to the efforts of the developers who have been writing this
thing for so many years.

in the gimp source, there is a file called the Changelog.  this file
tells who should really be thanked.  those people, smart and
industrious, have been working diligently to compete with well paid
programmers and with to compete on unforgiving to volunteer operating
systems -- for whatever personal reasons they have.

i am only sorry that i do not have more knowledge and ability to show
off more of their efforts.

these guys handle their public directly.  i am always wanting to suggest
that people who want gimp to run like other software -- that they go see
how far their opinions get and who answers their emails and such from
these other apps pampered programmers.  my theory is that they would not
get very far through the corporate email and what-have you.

anyways, not enough thanks are given to these people (rude and arrogant
as they can seem and well, actually be at times) who are writing this
stuff.  and, i am not real certain how to thank them; staying out of
their way only goes so far for this

With former versions you had to have superuser priviledges in order to
replace the systemwide GIMP splash. With GIMP 2.2 any user can have
it's own splash.

yes, because gimp can be built yourself on your own computer, you have
always had the ability to change any of the graphics it uses.  not just
the splash screen but also the icons the widgets use and images that
appear in the message dialogs.

however, gimp-2.1 or gimp-2.2pre as we are calling it now has this
ability to use user splash screens.  you put your image into your user
directory and name it gimp-splash.png (~/.gimp-2.2/gimp-splash.png) and
the gimp will find it.

so you dont even need to build your own lately.

I thought you could already set your own custom splash screen by replacing
the existing splash screen graphic?  What is different about how it is
done now?

[Gimp-user] new tutorials and previews

2004-11-01 Thread Carol Spears
hi,

i heard that gimp-2.2pre would be out and threw together some new
tutorials to show off a few of the new things.  
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/

a preview of only a few of the new gimp previews (thanks to david odin):
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/previews/

you can configure your toolbox now:
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/toolbox/

also, you can drop your own splash screen image in now:
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/splash

and for the gimp power-users out there, better gap tutorials:
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/gap/
including one from the gap author, wolfgang hofer:
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/gap/move_path

the gtk file selector is really really slow to open an image -- it is
not gimp, it is gtk.  now you have been warned 

enjoy!
