One of the minor annoyances of using Gimp is that the Layer Mode menu (and paint mode menu, etc) is unpleasantly long -- for me, it nearly extends from the top to the bottom of the screen. It would actually be very easy to change the code so that these menus are laid out in two columns, and in my opinion they look nicer that way. I am attaching a screenshot showing how it looks. (Hopefully the attachment will come through.) I should say that the disadvantage is that it's hard to maintain the separators that divided the modes into categories -- it would be possible, but coding it would be a significant pita. It seems to me that the separators are not that important, because the categories are pretty artificial in the first place, and were really imposed mostly to give the very long list some structure, as far as I can see. But this is something that you should consider. Anyway, I would like to make this change, and I wonder if there are objections. -- Bill
