awesome program
by Jared Thompson 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

I know this may not be according to the purposes of this list, but I just wanted to say that I recently discovered inkscape and I think it is quite an impressive program so far. I have been playing with it non stop for the past few days and love it, the website is also nice and clean. there are plenty of tips and in the program a help file that gives a good overview to get beginners started I am now trying to install this on the mac osx with fink so that I can use it during the day on my work computer (home computer is linux, on which I have it installed currently.) I will be looking forward to contribute what I can as time goes forward. again, just wanted to say thanks for an awesome program -jared ps. I would have just gone into the chat room, but for some reason it was not able to set up right, so I just wanted to send this email of appreciation.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape interface icons

Plus, is there really much of a need for themeability of Inkscape? In fact it kinda doesn't make usability sense to change the known icons on the fly. While I understand the idea behind splitting these files into individual ones, and fully support that plan for moving Inkscape to themeability, I must say that I still feel the best course of action is to add icons where not present, and then convert any non-svg (xpms) into icons.svg. Please help me out on this one! After this task is done, then we should look into some of that reorganization.

inkscape interface icons
by Jonathan Phillips 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm now well versed in how to implement new icons in Inkscape. If you design icons and would like to help develop an excellent icon theme for Inkscape, then either A.) jump on chat and I can show you how to edit icons, and/or B.) Make your icons and forward them to me and I will implement them. There are plenty of icons left to designed. Don't forget that artists are developers as well... I'm moving all icons in the application to icons.svg which is by default at: /usr/local/lib/inkscape/icons/icons.svg If you open that file up and copy how those were laid out, and then name the group of the file icon uniquely, that is the best way to understand how to add/edit icons. Forward me any changes and I'll add them into the app. Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...41...>

Open SVG from Dia
by bjorn 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hello, I just found this nice program. What I create from scratch seems to work fine but when I try to load SVG files created with Dia I get strange results. All text and lines get to big resulting in a big pile of text with some small boxes underneth with to wide lines.... If I open the SVG file with Mozilla (Adobe SVG plugin 3.01) my drawing looks good (only slighlt bigger text size than Dia). Perhaps the Dia generates strange SVG files but the Adobe plug-in atleast seems to do a decent job. Is this normal? Can I tune something someware? /Björn
