Hi darxus, > http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/dl/Gay-flag.ggr > > I just made it, based on the colors from > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement) we've discussed the best name for the gradient - 'gay flag' as such seems to be imprecise. I think using the names as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_symbols#Flag_gallery is a good choice - and thus we could use Rainbow flag. > I'm pretty confident it's perfect. The color of the left and right end point of the red stripe are slightly different - is this intended? Overall, the colors you have used are different to the HTML notation used on the Wikipedia page - it uses color keywords. They are also different to the colors of the six-color flag shown there. I'm not sure if exact matches matter, but still would be curious how you did get the colors you've used. Adding that flag gradient: If we add the flag gradient for the symbol it represents, we might want to consider to add gradients for a few other flags from the gallery linked previously, and use the names provided there. In regard to including gradients at all: We've had a few gradients for national flags in releases in the past (French, German, Mexican, Romanian). They do still exist in our code repository, but have been marked as obsolete: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/data/gradients/Makefile.am?h=gimp-2-8#n78 In general, we have reduced the number of resources that come with GIMP by default. Adding some resources that have a meaning beyond their mere technical use is interesting to some people, of course. Adding any of them has the potential to generate a lot of discussion - I'm fine with that for any gradients resembling any of the flags linked in the aforementioned gallery, but also a bit less frilled about some of the discussion that might happen around some religious, political or national flags. >From a more technical point of few, figuring out the best and fastest way how to use the possible gradients to create some flags in GIMP - in particular if the pattern isn't pales or fesses - is an interesting challenge. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
