Re: [Gimp-developer] Designing a Better Font Selection Widget for use in Open Source Software

Nice proposal. A lot of apps could benefit from a good shared font selector -- it's not just an issue of one app, as you point out. I love the idea of font groupings. I don't mind editing an XML file, but I'm sure it wouldn't take much to whip up an app to help people customize their downloaded fo

[Gimp-developer] Using GIMP for Paper Prototyping the Colors Menu

2005-08-27 Thread Akkana Peck
Anyone pulling CVS has probably noticed that most of GIMP's color-related functions have been moved into a new toplevel Colors menu (as discussed in bug 116145). There's some concern that the menu is a bit long, or could be organized better. Sven has been enthused about paper prototyping lately (s

I've posted a patch to bug 116145 which would move all the color operations -- currently in Image/Mode, Layers/Colors, and Filters/Colors -- to a new top-level menu called Colors. (See the bug for the request and discussion of that.) If I don't hear any objections I'll commit it in a day or so. O
