2008-11-12 Thread Tom Williams
I'm running Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 (64-bit) and I've noticed when I load an image, the image window stays behind the toolbox and the layers window all the time. I didn't see a preference where I could control always on top behavior. This makes it challenging for me to work with images. Is

2008-11-12 Thread sablade08
Just beginning to use GIMP and I am baffled about how to properly transform a .gif file to make it appear transparent when I subsequently add it to a photo. Each method I have tried still has a solid image that blocks out the original photo. Thanks in advance. Gene

Nathan, It's an image we created for our website to protect photos sent to us for display by watermarking them and I've tried layering and adding an alpha layer to no avail. I am clueless as to the ins and outs of imaging software and GIMP is the program we use. I've searched the tutorials to

[Gimp-user] Is there a lightweight Window Manager that properly supports utility windows?

2008-11-12 Thread Hood Family
I guess the title says it all. The page for Gimp 2.5x said Metacity was the only Window Manager that properly supported utility windows. The page for 2.6 doesn't say this, so I presume it is no longer the case. I've found Openbox almost works properly, except that the utility windows stay
