I don't see how this is a problem with anything besides The GIMP. I'm using BlueSteel (to match my BlueSteel E theme), and it works just fine on all of my other GTK applications. Also, some of The GIMP displays it right, too. For example, the loader bar when it displays all of the different plug-in files, and -some- of the tools in the Tool Options display. Others, like the entire first 3x3 block of tools (selectors, flip, color picker, text, etc.), will smudge up the name of the tool in the Tool Options dialog. Other GTK programs, like Grip and GNapster, would just fine. > > Also, this may sound like another obvious problem, but how do you draw a > > hollow or fill circle/box?

Sounds like another case of The GIMP trying to find a way to complex the most basic of functions. The line thing was bad enough. Oh, I like the better functionality and efficient integration, but I have a right to bitch a little :) -- Brendan Byrd AKA SineSwiper (SineSwiper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Computer techie, Perl hacker, and all-purpose Internet guru Resonator Software (http://www.ResonatorSoft.com/)
