[Gimp-user] Web page buttons
Hi Folks, I have to create a larger list of web page buttons with the gimp. The do have a similiar design, the only thing different from button to button is its label and therefore the generated width. Where do I need to start? I don't want to create each if it manually...

[Gimp-user] Text tool
Hello gimp-gurus, I am trying to create web navigation buttons with text on it. Of course I am using TheGimp for it, but I have a problem: The button should have a total height of 16 pixels and so I start with an empty image of that height. Every time I use the text tool the resulting text looks really ugly. I already have a running web page where the navigation bar is created of text links (only using the A tag) and the fonts rendered there are looking much better (using the same height of course) How can I create good readable font buttons?

Hallo, I am using version 2.0.4 on Windows; I have also tried the same thing on the same version on Linux (Knoppix-Hdd-Install to be exact).

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Text tool
Hallo, [snip] or Yep, these fonts should be perfect. But indeed, 16 pixels is a little or troublesome to have nice text: I have tried with Nimbus and Vera, and or the result is not satisfying... I tried Tahoma and Verdena and the result gets better... or 2- antialiasing: in the text tool options (double click or on the text tool if you do not already have this dialog or in your windows), check that the antialiasing option or is selected. Play also with the hinting option. I already have done this: Depending on the used font the result gets a little better but is still far away from beeing good. or Could you put a screenshot somewhere. I guess that since you are talking or about a web site, you have one somewhere ;) So we can see what you call or better. or [snap] [snip] I will do this, but I am writing this from my working place so I can do this tomorrow at the earliest. As soon as I have done this, I will post again. Thanks so far Ciao Michael ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Tutorial for brushed metal
Hi, Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to create a brushed metal effect on some text? I want to create something similar to the knoppix logo which comes as wallpaper with teh current knoppix 3.4. Besides I would also be very pleased if someone can give me a hint on a good Gimp book which covers the current version. (F. e. something like Photoshop Wow!)
