Plea for a new interface user for the GIMP

Bonjour,

I don't speak english very well as I'm french from Martinique... but I will try. I apologize before for my bad english. First I wanted to say a BIG THANKS for the GNU Image Manipulation Program. I am a faithful user of this program since some years yet and i would like to thank all the developpers who invest time in this project to give to the masses the posibility to have at one's disposal such a tool to draw.

However as using the GIMP "all the days", I couldn't help to admit: the GIMP interface user is a little "uncomfortable" to use.

It may be for this reason some have decided to transform his interface like a very known graphic software: I'm talking about gimpshop software.

It for this reason I tried to review the GIMP API. Before to show you that "review" I want to point out that I'm neither a developper nor a designer but just a user. And I don't know if other alternativ interfaces were suggested on this mailing list.

I would like you to give me your opinion on this: http://linuxmedia.tuxfamily.org/contrib/gimp/index.html you can access to the english version by clicking on the little flag on the top. this english version was translated by me: again I apologize for the possible bad words.

Good bye Roland C.

I'm sorry, but this is example of inefficient usage of GIMP.

You can save a lot of screen space be regrouping palettes actually: http://prokoudine.info/shots/gimp_layout.jpg

Nothing really new there except for the transparent windows which are simply not implementable in a portable way (yet). Otherwise your proposal is very similar to other proposals we've seen before. Our plan is to discuss these changes based on the product vision that we have created at LGM and based on the user scenarios that we are going to create next. Feel free to join to this effort.
