new interface of Artemio.net: powered by Inkscape
by Artemio 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

Hello, Inkscapers! Yesterday, I re-drawn the interface of Artemio.net completely from scratch using Inkscape. Thanks to the new rectangle tool, it simply was a snap! I just can't believe I could do all the work in minutes. Here is a short article about the new look: http://artemio.net/?p=event&e=2004-06-12 By the way, for Bryce and others: I can send you new screenshots of the development process, and expand my creation article so you can post these instead of the old Arteimio.net design examples. Inkscape is truly amazing. Thank you all, thank you so much! Yours, Artemio. -- KDEvibes: audio environment for KDE -> http://artemio.net/projects/kdevibes [local time 10:25:43 (GMT +3) 12 June 2004] [system uptime 43 min]

by Florent 14 Jun '04

Hi all, I try to compile the CVS version 20040610 (certainly I'm late) No problem during the './configure' but, at the 'make' : [...] dialogs/dialog-events.cpp: In function `void sp_transientize(GtkWidget*)': dialogs/dialog-events.cpp:153: `GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY' undeclared (first use this function) dialogs/dialog-events.cpp:153: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) dialogs/dialog-events.cpp:157: `gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint' undeclared (first use this function) make[2]: *** [dialogs/dialog-events.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/florent/Sources/inkscape-20040610/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/florent/Sources/inkscape-20040610' make: *** [all] Error 2 In my '/usr/local/include' (Linux Slackware), there's 'gtk-2.0/' , 'gtkmm-2.0/' , 'sigc++-1.2/' must I install another library ?

>Or maybe 'Freeze' (in the hope that Inkscape wouldn't be AI-like) No, "freeze" sound like the computer is about to freeze :) I like "lock" better. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

So this only works for input, but I don't think it's really needed for output. >I don't see options about 'lock an object', is it possible ?

[Clipart] ANNOUNCE: First official release of Open Clip Art Library (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 21:35:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryce Harrington <bryce@...69...> To: clipart@...91... Subject: [Clipart] ANNOUNCE: First official release of Open Clip Art Library The first official release package of the Open Clip Art Library is now available in the download section of the website: http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/ openclipart-0.03.tgz This is the "Father's Day, 2004" release. There aren't really any Father's Day type images, though; they're actually all UK road signs. ;-) Nineteen items passed a validation against the OCAL File Guidelines, and these are included in this release. The items that failed were missing RDF metadata sections and did not indicate title, author, and license. A listing of files scanned and a log of the testing results is included for review. A Makefile is included for installation on *nix platforms via the command `make install` as root. `make uninstall` also works. On Windows, users will need to manually install to their preferred directory. While not many items are included in this release, the focus has been to find and establish a process for accepting, checking, and packaging the files. With these in place, future releases will be quicker and easier to put out. :-) Bryce _______________________________________________ clipart mailing list clipart@...91... http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart

Some questions....
by Florent 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hi, In first, thank you for Inkscape and for all your work. I think that you are habit to hear congratulations, so : here are some questions and some suggestions.... Is there a way , in the "Fill & Stroke" display, to set the unit of the color ? (for example : #00 to #FF, 0 TO 255, or 0% TO 100%) I don't see options about 'lock an object', is it possible ? I think that it could be more convenient, when the user open a svg file via the main window, and when this window is "not in use", to open this file in the main window And sorry for my language which I feel very brief, but I'm not really a master with regard to the english language :-/ ... I beg your pardon for that. Florent

Inkscape object opacity
by Adam Pearson 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

Hi all Bear with me if these are dopey questions: Objects appear to have a default opacity (0.75 from the XML editor?) but the item properties dialog box says opacity = 1. So: What is the default opacity and how does one adjust the default? Why do objects that I edit in the XML editor to opacity = 1 still appear on screen as having an opacity? Regards from a puzzled Adam

>Objects appear to have a default opacity (0.75 from the XML editor?) but >the >item properties dialog box says opacity = 1. It's two different opacities. 0.75 is the fill opacity, it's set in the Fill & Stroke dialog, Fill tab, it only affects fill. The Object Properties lets you set an overall opacity of the entire object (both fill and stroke). The two opacity settings are independent. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

wallpaper

some time ago, a cool wallpaper made with Inkscape was posted here. now is time for my wallpaper, made with Inkscape and finished in GIMP* http://www.kfacts.com/oooart/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=&pos=-3 if you don't know, the main character is Otto, the OOoEdu proposed mascot: http://marketing.openoffice.org/education/schools/ note: * the main reasons for using GIMP were: the shadows and a final bump map (the background could be done in Inkscape). i hate that is no easy way to create easily shadows (especially perspective shadows) with Inkscape -- nicu
