they probably have their reasons -- if you discover those reasons please let us know on this list. > 3. The text tool is different.

The tools now work through the Tool Options dialog. Double click on the tool button and a dockable dialog should appear. it is confusing because the same old shortcuts located at the bottom of the toolbox do not "work". they wanted to remove them from the toolbox even. for gradients and palettes; you have to make a copy and then edit that (last i checked) which is while not intuitive in the classic gimp ways at least logical after you start to work with this new tool way. truthfully, i still look under images for color things and click on the brush icon on the toolbox first and then have to start it all over using the new way. if you are like me, this new way will be mildly irritating even after you see the sense in it. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
