As for the merging of icons, how do you handle toggling visibility/locking/chaining/etc? If you merge icons, that means you'd have to have a separate control elsewhere (although I suppose you could cycle through multiple states, but that would be annoying). This means you'd have to do two clicks to change any non-active layer's state (one click to activate and a second to change visibility, etc.) That makes things particularly troublesome for changes that users make to multiple layers at once, like visibility and chaining. You could make it so clicking certain parts of the icon toggle one of the states (e.g. click just the chain portion) but that kind of requires more precise clicking which can lead to incorrectly toggled states. Granted, I'm a nobody here, but it seems to me like while your suggestion may reduce some visual clutter, it complicates matters for users and could easily slow them down. Either that or I'm simply not understanding... again. :) -Jason _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
