This puts us back to an empty window without any functionality. And that doesn't sounds like a good solution, too. I've made some mock-ups and I like nr. 5c (with common tasks, like Gez one) and nr. 6 (DND area). I definitive don't like the nr. 4 (without any functionality). But this is just the look and not the feel. http://www.hagemaenner.de/stuff/gimp/PlanB/5c.png http://www.hagemaenner.de/stuff/gimp/PlanB/6.png http://www.hagemaenner.de/stuff/gimp/PlanB/4.png Regards, Tobias _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
