Yes, and if you ever work on a laptop screen (or 15" monitor) you really dont want to have any extra space used by the toolbox.. Dialogs are always too big :) Actually Gtk should be scalable so you could stretch the dialogs smaller with all the contents shrinking :) > I'll often do a screenshot of a web browser and use the > measurement tool to check precise measurements when working on a web > site.

What I usually do with website work, I also take a screenshot of the site, and add a new layer and design the whole thing over the screenshot, in place. Then I just flatten the image and cut the thing in pieces. Very handy and useful. But this is stuff for the gimp-user list I guess.. :) Best wishes, Tuomas -- .---> tigert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . |\,/| tigert@xxxxxxxx <-----. +----> www.helixcode.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org <----+ `-----> art director , `--')/ a gimp artist <---'
