Plus, we can always re-use a theme of WordPress or whatever. I personally much prefer the current custom, unique layout than ripping either one of those (or any other, for that matter) sites' layouts or simply taking a wordpress theme and adapting it. I don't necessarily agree with the current one being ugly, per se, though I agree it needs some work. Mostly it's too bulky. I like the idea of making it look like a layers dialog a lot.

Re: Apple has no Delete Key [Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp interface streamlining]
On Sat, 13 Sep 2003, Alan Horkan wrote: It would be nice to have more keys available to the tools. I'd love to get the Del-Key working for deletion of nodes in the path tool... The del key is a bad choice. Quite a few GIMP users have Apple machines which don't have a del key. I think Apple is exceptional in that regard and didn't they put some of the keys back in the later iMac designs? Delete is such a particularly good and obvious keybinding for Deleting things with on other platforms couldn't we use delete as well as another keybinding for the benifit of Mac users? It is true that the Apple keyboards that used to come with the iMacs, B/W G3s and G4s don't have a del key. However, this keyboard has long since been replaced with the full-sized keyboard, which does have the key. As does every older mac keyboard in existence, save the PowerBook keyboards. Simply put, most people should have the key. However, how about using backspace, which IMO is more intuitive for deleting things. (Though it could be used by something else, I'm not entirely sure.)

Right under ins/help, next to end. As does every older mac keyboard in existence, save the PowerBook keyboards. None of the notebooks have it which are oddly enough quite common to find at artists. I don't know about the PC notebooks, but the powerbooks don't have one. Of course their keyboard is smaller than the iMac one, and the key is rarely used on macs. So this is understandable. Simply put, most people should have the key. Talking about all users sure, with Mac users I'd be careful with this claim. Most pro users will have replaced their keyboards with the larger keyboard. The larger part of the non-powerbook folks will have it. Anyway, I recall forward delete being shift-backspace in macos on those keyboard, and I even recall using that. Oddly, when I just tried it, it didn't work. I'm guessing it's an option somewhere.

Re: [Gimp-developer] makes it sense to add native CMYK support toGIMP?
On Sun, 8 Jun 2003, Helvetix Victorinox wrote: This may be entirely my deficiency, but I am unclear on the general usefulness of having a native CMYK implementation. On one hand I understand that there is a perceived value of working with the four values, on the other hand I think we expose too much of the underlying guts of the colour implemetation and gamuts to the poor user already. [snip] A contribution here would be the development of a good colour abstraction interface. Let the user choose things like if the image is a COLOR image or a Black and White image (GRAY), with or without transparency. None of this business of values like 255 (white in 8bit rgb). Naturally there will be people who want access to the underlying knobs and switches, and that's okay. But we ought to at least put a cover over it. I think CMYK ought to be a Save As option (as appropriate). Helvetix I disagree. I hate it when software shields away the more advanced features. It is adjusting to the user, while the user should be adjusting to software instead. More than that, it's not adjusting to the correct user.

[Gimp-developer] MNG plug-in
All of this by muks in #gimp, I'm merely relaying. - http://www.mukund.org/gimp/mng/ for anyone who wants to try it. There are viewable samples in samples/ a few points.. this is just a developer copy.. there are things missing: 1 NO support yet for indexed anything images, only RGB and RGBA work 2 there are inter-frame glitches (will be sorted out soon) 3 no JNG support yet 4 per-frame delays, etc. (set in layer names) aren't yet implemented 5 the code is not fit to be a gimp plug-in.. not i18'd, still have bugs to fix However, i would like many of you to test it as it is now. download mng.c, and Makefile into your user account install libmng, libpng, libjpeg (with their development counterpart packages) gmake; gmake install when you create images, create them as XCFs.. this is only useful as a final export plugin enjoy, and report bugs on the developer list.. i don't have a mail account yet, but i'll check the archives on monday muks - Enjoy, Marco ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
