formula for complimentary colors?
Hi gimp world. I know nothing about art and colors and all that, but I'd like to hack out a plug-in to allow people to make nice-looking color combinations in logos and etc. I make a lot of logos and whatnot, and can never figure out what colors go with what. (I'm dumb like that.) So I was wondering if anyone knows a mathematical formula for determining such things, or a source of information like that? I've looked at a bunch of art sites, and they all have color wheels and whatnot, but, well, I just don't really grok what they're trying to tell me, and I'm sure there are other, equally clueless people out there who would much rather just see a three-panel swatch (like the kind you can get from home supply stores, one big square of color and two color squares that 'match') than try to tweak things out. Any help given is much appreciated! If not, well, I'll go steal a bunch of swatches, scan them, and run the values thru a perl script. :P Thanks, -- Blue Lang Unix Systems Admin QSP, Inc., 3200 Atlantic Ave, Ste 100, Raleigh, NC, 27604 Home: 919 835 1540 Work: 919 875 6994 Fax: 919 872 4015

That is what I mean, that normally you will not use it (you can, of course). shrug, it's your app, but i think you're being a little presumptive. i use the gimp primarily for web pages, and i'm sure i'm not alone in that. if i'm working on a lot of little images, i just want desktop space. not everyone who uses the gimp is an artist, ya know. :P i, uhm, don't even know what the origin of this thread was, btw, so YMMV and all that. :P -- Blue Lang Unix Systems Admin QSP, Inc., 3200 Atlantic Ave, Ste 100, Raleigh, NC, 27604 Home: 919 835 1540 Work: 919 875 6994 Fax: 919 872 4015
extra text for gtk-config not found
heya, i know this is kind of a pedantic bitch, but i run into it every time i install a new system w/red hat and then install gimp from source. after building and installing a new gtk, unless you specify usr/lib as your install path, you will have to add /usr/local/bin to /etc/ld.so.config and run ldconfig or configure will fail. i've done it half dozen or more times, and it still give me pause - and i remember what a PITA it was before i figured out what was going on. will someone add possibly a check or some extra text to that end in ./configure, so that the people upgrading to 2.0 on existing RH systems won't be so in the dark? thanks, -- Blue Lang Unix Systems Admin QSP, Inc., 3200 Atlantic Ave, Ste 100, Raleigh, NC, 27604 Home: 919 835 1540 Work: 919 875 6994 Fax: 919 872 4015

There are simply too many tools (some of them could well be combined), and the icons look very much the same (believe it or not). I don't know if colour would solve this (or just add clutter), but we should really get to reduce the number of tools, as a previous poster suggested. Now, where are the users? :) Hi. I am a user, I keep my gimp fairly fresh, and I use the gimp fairly often. I agree that there might be more tools on the toolbox than are used in a toolbox-ly manner. I use a handful of operations, and I use them often. Tear-off menus have been a lifesaver for me. I don't know that I agree on the issue of clutter - I like being able to find most things fairly quickly. Some of the buttons are a little ambiguous, but not so much that I would suggest a major UI overhaul. I wonder if you're talking maybe more about learning curve than usability? The gimp, on my desktop, excels at usability - but I have a desktop set to 1600x1200 with all four sides covered in tear-offs. :) -- Blue Lang Unix Systems Admin QSP, Inc., 3200 Atlantic Ave, Ste 100, Raleigh, NC, 27604 Home: 919 835 1540 Work: 919 875 6994 Fax: 919 872 4015

I usually highlight layers by clicking right in the middle of the layer name. I did it four or fives times, to make sure it wasn't the crack in my wheaties, and then did it on a fresh image.
