I was playing around with the June 4th Win32 build and I noticed that the Fill and Stroke dialog is slow to come up. I haven't been using all of the daily builds, so I don't know where the problem started, but the dialog is snappy for me in 0.38.
I noticed that too a while back, but hadn't had a chance to look into it before. I just ran it through gdb and verified that it is spending most of its time rendering the marker previews (not hanging on anything, it's just CPU-bound).
Also, changing the colors in the dialog is less smooth. The other dialogs seem just fine.
I haven't noticed that myself, though some other updates seem slower lately (e.g. movement of selection hints with object transformations).
By the way, the working eyedropper is great. I like that it keeps things real simple. How would people feel if it used a crosshair rather than the white arrow. Maybe this is silly, but I am always feel a little unsure what specific point I am aiming at with the arrow.
Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Let me dust off my pixel art skills and see what I can do ^^;
