Hi Bart, to really improve the gradient editor, i think the scope of design and/or discussion needs to be a bit less narrow. The most important required UI change is to shift from the current segments based concept to a control points based concept. That is, the basic model should provide for control points which specify _one_ color. Everything between these control points gets interpolated. Done. No Manual Required. *) To give a rough impression what of i mean, here's a sketch i'd doodled some time ago: http://yahvuu.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/gradient-editor-horz.png It also features a color inspector to save the tedious extra-click for opening the color pop-up. regards, yahvuu *) How to keep all the current features on top of this model is another question, and, of course, what's really desired is an on-canvas gradient editor... _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
