As there have been some talk about my old mockup of the new preferences dialog, I thought it might be nice to have another look at it. Right now [1], it's quite noisy, so I thought it might be a good time to do a bit of the kill-your-darlings. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape_new_prefs_mockup4.png
Has anyone actually started coding on this?
If not i'd like to volunteer.
I am making a preferences dialog for my own projects (90% finished), much like the screenshot above, it is in gtkmm (without using glade or libglade), hig compliant and written in a way that will reduce code size considerably compared to the gtk+ version.
It would of course require some work to fit this into inkscape but i have done at least 50% already and i'm willing to do the other 50% as well. So let me know if i can contribute to this excellent project with this.
