I personally quite like the idea but GIMP currently lacks the infrastructure to have such feature. Computer games have a slight advantage of not having to deal with window managers and toolkit limitations as a rule. The whole UI is custom rendered anyway. There seems to be a consensus that on canvas widgets are needed however. There is GSoC project slightly related, but I dont know how that progresses. Guiguru has final word on these things usually, so discussing this in depth with him might be good, if you plan to have a go at it. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
