Hi all, I am testing new 2.9 snapshots and finally found a very nice evolution of this great piece of software. I hope GIMP 2.10 can be released quickly and same for following releases.
Nevertheless I have a general concern about the software appearance. In order to make GIMP looking more 'professional' I think it needs some works. 1. NAME - Discussion about a name change must be avoided. I agree with the developer and many users: a so long well known name must remain unchanged. GIMP has its own meaning and - more important - is worldwide recognized/used. 2. ICON - I do not like GIMP icon. I think GIMP should have a new icon containing the letter 'G'. The 'G' icon will be more modern, identifiable, and will integrate better in modern flat/minimal desktop environment. 3. SPLASH - It could sound strange but splash is incredibly attractive for a lot of users and - in any case - it is the software intro. I think GIMP needs a more professional/modern/abstract splash. Moreover please keep away Wilber and put the 'G' icon instead. Background could be a nice photograph/graphic (GIMP is an IMAGE manipulation tool). Maybe a competition among users could be organized in order to choose the image for the next GIMP release... 4. UI - I think Wilber should disappear from GIMP GUI (error/messages windows, etc.) and new modern icons to be used. Wilber, in particular, should remain as the GIMP mascot, nothing else. Like KDE Konqi, the mascot appears on the website, etc. but its role is always clear: it is a mascot and is never used in the UI where clear and minimal icons are used instead. What do you think about this dress change?
