... Hi everyone! Jasper, I have just tried a build with the implemented cursor-color indicator. Nice work! ;) Considering Mr. Engelen's question, how about this? (please check out the attachment)
We have both stroke and fill, would it be okay in these cases to only display the stroke?
xpm can support transparency, but not levels of transparency, if I am not mistaken.
Basically we've rolled our own xpm, so we can do what we like. And even with the current color indicators it already uses an alpha channel.
Before, I was goofing around with the GIMP UI and replaced the tool icons and cursors in with SVG files. And those icons looked really cool and smooth! ;) So, I wanted to ask... or suggest... Can we do the same in Inkscape and use svg instead xpm? While still using the tool-cursor-color indicators, of course ;)...
Hmm... My personal feeling would be that I want my cursor to really be as barebones as possible and while previewing the color can be useful, letting the full power of svg loose on our cursors seems like a bad idea. Even now I purposefully opted to just only support for painting with fill and stroke, and not all colors of the rainbow.
