Now the icons are in the header files.. it's pretty hard for a art.geek like me to change the icons or try different versions.. Also for 'T0olb4r ThemeZ' it would be neat if the pixmaps would be stored in separate files. I did this before but unfortunately I lost this one and it wouldn't work with this new widget the toolbar uses... apropos: When will this scrappy thing be fixed or is it due to go again? -- Servus, Daniel
Re: Icons in LC dialog (and elsewhere)
Hello Well "feature" freeze is a wide term. Currently only Gimp (app and lib) is in feature freeze (If I haven't missed a mail). Functions such as IS, Bezier, Airbrush, brush scaling, context etc.. is not finished. For me a feature freeze is when you stop add new functionality. It's not when you change how a tool work (e.g moving Simons curve tools to IS). It is not when you make the brush scaling work etc. Neither can feature freeze stop you from e.g cleaning up the menu paths for e.g plugins. Changing icons is not (in my view) a new feature (adding a new tool is).

Oops :) I committed some new icons to stylize the LC dialog, but whatever I do, I will not be changing any metaphors or concepts in the icons so documentation is still relevant. IMHO Gimp is anyway a moving target, and I am just doing minor cleanup work on the icons so you dont need to worry. I am also thinking of putting the Balloon splash screen, maybe with some modifications, into 1.2 when it will be released. [ OTHER STUFF ] Speaking of minor stuff, maybe someone could re-arrange the layer mode menus? Either sort it alphabetically with "Normal" on top and separated from the rest? Or we could even group different modes together with separators? Something like this: . -- - Mode: | Normal +-- - | Behind | Dissolve +--- | Multiply (Burn) | Divide (Dodge) | Screen | Overlay | Difference +--- | Addition | Subtract | Lighten Only - do these differ from the above ones | Darken Only - (addition subtract) ? | Value +--- | Hue | Saturation | Color `-- -- - Or if someone comes up with a better order, no problem. The idea is the separators there. Do you think they would be useful? Tuomas .---( t i g e r t @ g i m p . o r g )---. | some stuff at http://tigert.gimp.org/ | `---'

Re: Icons in LC dialog (and elsewhere)
Hi, Uh, Gimp users/developers are so conservative ... I am not sure. Gimp is a drawing application and thus colors are important part of the work being done. I kinda like the fact that the icons in the gui are not colored. I dont know, what do others think? It wasn't the lack of colors that made me propose this change. It was the fact that the anchor and the trashcan we currently use do not fit at all with the other icons. Same applies for the Zoom_In and Zoom_out icons used in the Palette dialog. They do match however with the Gnome icons. So either we come up with a new set of icons, use the Gnome ones or we change the trashcan, the anchor and the zoom icons to simpler ones that match the rest. Most of the icons in Freehand and Photoshop are B/W too.. I dont know if it is good to mix color icons in _gimp_.. I know we have some in the prefs dialog which I checked in, but I am not sure if we want to have a color-iconified toolbar? Since that needs to be done too if we want to be consistent.. I don't think the toolbox icons would have to be colored too, even if we use colored icons in other dialogs. Salut, Sven

As long as he also makes the anchor icon which in it's present design sucks (no harm towards you Tigert but it is clearly not one of your best icons ;-). Heh, no problem. I think it is a cute anchor :) Tig Cheeers Olof -- Olof Kylander Frozenriver Digital Design http://www.frozenriver.nu Consultant at Sigma nBiT Technical writer and coauthor of GUM (the Gimp User Manual) On Sat, 23 Oct 1999, Sven Neumann wrote: Hi, Uh, Gimp users/developers are so conservative ...
