Are there any disadvantages? Performance issues at start up and during actual program usage? Ideally, would this be limited to dialog windows or, instead, the entire user interface? -- SHIRAKAWA Akira _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
