Please read the spec that Peter sent to the list. It clearly explains why the corner frames are so important. We would like them to be alpha-transparent overlays but that's not possible with the current display drawing code. After a lot of experiments we settled for what we have now. I don't think we are going to change that. When 2.4 is out I would like to port the display to using Cairo and that should allow us to change all this to the better. Until then, please try to understand that we need to concentrate on the important bits now. > There are several requests on Russian Gimp list to combine cropping and > scaling. I'd ask it too. The new rectangle tools are far from being finished. The original authors have stopped working on them and it seems that no one is willing to fix the remaining issues (and there are quite a few of them). So please, by all means, don't bring up new features now. Currently it seems rather unlikely that we will ever get 2.4 out with the planned feature set.
