I'm wondering how these really cool icons of KDE2 and GNOME are painted. How could I do this? Pixel for Pixel or somehow else ? Somehow else, mostly. Take a look at tigert's tutorials at http://tigert.gimp.org That's where I learned. Cool. That's what I call a lesson! But how do I do e.g. a folder like the one tigert has for "Dull files"? I mean those light effects and the dark borders around the paper and the folder itself. I suppose there's a trick? Several tricks: For outlines use edit-stroke and then touch up with shift + click with the painbrush to draw streight lines. For things like a folder with a back a front and paper, use a layer for each piece. For shading use a gentle airbrush to highlight and shade with black and white paint. Hope that helps. --Ben Thx in advance, Ralf -- Ralf Gerlich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Passionate programmer http://www.d-design.net/rgerlich/
