Eek, please no! Often the best way to use layer modes is to go down the list one by one, which would become even worse if you had to click through a "more" submenu each time. Bad enough to have to go to the bottom of the menu then wait for it to scroll. Personally I'd like Bill's side-by-side mode menu, just because it would be faster, and a shorter distance, to get to most entries. But Sven does have a good point that it implies there's a connection between each side-by-side pair of modes.

The question is, can we do > anything to make this better I don't have a great solution, just a few specifics the gtk widget doesn't do well that I wish the modes menus could handle better. Like the fact that clicking on the button pops up the menu, but not always with the current mode selected -- sometimes it's the mode above the currently selected one, so I can't just arrow down once and assume I'm on the next mode -- I have to look at the current mode before I click, then choose the next one explicitly. And I wish there was a faster way to select them by keyboard than the current "click on the button then use up or down arrow" ... I wish I could type ad and be on Addition right away. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
