*nod* I read the other thread quite recently. It's Tuomo's project so it's fair for him to say what he will and won't do with it. > However he certainly is OK with people using ion3 for whatever purpose > they want and any hacks in the code they want (support of antialiasing > or Xinerama for instance) provided you don't bother him with that. Indeed. If I had more time I'd probably work on one myself. Although I couldn't care less about anti-aliasing -- one of the things I like about ion is how small the title bars are. I've never been keen on the amount of space that Gnome/KDE/Windows/etc waste on them. >> > agree'd. i have given up on using the gimp under ion a >> > long time ago, tho (prefer shotophop under vmware anyways). > > GIMP/Photoshop is a matter of personal preference (and money), but > using Gimp under ion3 is really fantastic.

Priceless :) *nod* I should figure out winprops at some point since at the moment I have to gimp in a floating workspace, and I don't like floating windows :)
