http://www.zensui.org/img/Inkscape-clean.png</a><br clear="all"><br>// note that:<br><br>This change is based on a pure 2Desktop not 3Desktop... ie: not Xgl with &quot;not-necessary&quot; effects...<br><br>Since a page is a container/box for information (in this case an image) and Inkscape uses standards (SVG, XML) it is apropiate that:
<br>Inkscape uses a simplified W3C box model.<br><br>in the clean/proposed version of the ui (which is color-coded) the following new/changed paremeters are:<br><br>Background Color&nbsp; = black<br>// Width = variable /* this can be 2 values, width and height ...but they&#39;re better as variables */ 
<br>Border Color = green<br>Border Width = 2px (this paremeter is optional, or can be user-selected to Zero width)<br>Border Height = 2px<br>Box Color =&nbsp; white<br>Box Width = 1000px // aka &quot;page&quot; width<br>Box Height = 700px // aka &quot;page&quot; height
<br><br>favorite-most-used way-of-measure = pixel (...or milimeter, etc)<br><br>I know Java and some C++ so I can help with some code too...<br><br>any feedback about the User Interface/Interaction for the new milestone of Inkscape?
