It sort-of emulates the Mac OS idea of starting an application with just a toolbar. here's the mockup (I made it long ago): http://www.geocities.com/preacher_mg/UI_gimp_menu.png After the application starts, all you see is the menu dialog at the top. It's not that different from the current setup, but a top-level "menu" is more reasonable than a top-level "toolbox". You get a single menu instead of the duplication in menus you have today (toolbox menu and image menus). You can still have the pop up dialog appear when you start Gimp, but when you close all the currently open images, you don't need to pop it up again as the menu is still there. And you can add toolbars for file operations and common dialogs. What image does the menu apply to? In particular, how does this work with focus strictly follows mouse? -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
