by Philip Durbin 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hello! My name is Philip Durbin and I'm an open source developer at Harvard who is giving a talk about a project at work (Dataverse) at FOSDEM 2020 in Brussels, Belgium in a few weeks (Feb 1-2) and who would be happy to meet up with other Inkscape users or developers who are also attending. The website is https://fosdem.org/2020/ If you'd like to meet up, please let me know! Thanks, Phil p.s. I'm a newbie when it comes to Inkscape but my kids and I are having a blast with it (on the family iMac with the new 1.0 beta). Check out the kitten my daughter and I drew: http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/01/03/learning-inkscape/ p.p.s. I attended yesterday's Vectors team meeting and wrote up some thoughts at http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/01/05/first-inkscape-vectors-meeting-of-202…

Inverting Parts of a black and white graphic
by Rainer Dorsch 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hello, is there a good way to invert a black and white graphic in inkscape. As an example, take https://github.com/Bouni/MDT-Glas-Push-Button-Template/blob/master/MDT-Glas… and invert the upper or the lower graphic. I tried to add a layer and use exclusive-or with a black box overlay, but I it did not do at all what I was hoping for (xor between black and white). Is there a good way to do that without changing the color of every item? I am an inkscape beginner, so every advice is welcome :-) Many thanks Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/

Inkscape 1.0-beta2 release
by Marc Jeanmougin 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hi everyone! We are quickly approaching the long-awaited 1.0 release of Inkscape, and to allow easier testing of the progress we've made with it, we just released a 1.0-beta2 version! You can get the release at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0beta2/ in the form of source tarball to compile, AppImage for Linux, and .dmg for macOS (windows soon). The most visible changes should be : - MacOS Catalina users should be able to manipulate files - More responsive interface (faster rendering) - Improved text rendering All testers are encouraged to test this version and report bugs at inkscape.org/report The release date for 1.0 is not set in stone yet, but if we don't get major bug reports I expect a release around the end of December. == Translators == Thanks for your work! Strings have been frozen for a while, and it's not too late to submit translations until release date. == Developers == We have now branched the code repo. The new branch 1.0.x now only welcomes bugfixes, translations and easy-to-review changes; while features, performance, code improvements, or anything that was left waiting in prevision of 1.1 are free to go to the master branch. == All contributors == All Inkscape contributors (be it with development, translation, Vectors (outreach), documentation, UX research, etc) are encouraged to vote in the About Screen contest before Dec 15th! Thanks all! -- Marc

Way to fit better in desktop dark themes
by Dedeco Balaco 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hello, i use Debian, with Mate Desktop window manager, and i use a dark theme with it. In this theme, all large areas background are black or dark gray, or some other dark color. The colors for fonts, foreground and many symbols are very clear, and not necessarily pure white. Most programs fit this setup well, they just inherit the user GUI theme when they run; but some are made to have their own colors, instead of anyone's colors - but the best ones have, at least, two themes. Telegram (desktop version here, but both fit) is a program that has many themes for us to choose, mostly divided between dark and clear ones - mine is dark, as you could guess. But inkscape is a program that really makes my eyes hurt after a few minutes playing with it - unless i do an alternative counter measure. Look at the attached screenshot. It has an inkscape window maximized in my desktop, and a small project i did yesterday. This project is basically a surrounding line for some text. I used a big background rectangle *just to* keep the inkscape white background away from the screen. It seems there is no setting for that color! At least, i did not find. The black background rectangle worked yesterday. But what if i wanted to make a project with a considerable transparent area?? Still in the screenshot, we see the result of making that black rectangle 100% transparent. It becomes white! It is not white, but white is what we see for something transparent with nothing behind it. I want this "nothing color" to be black, not pure white! Or even better: to be configurable. What do you think? What should be the best paths for me to solve this issue with Inkscape?

Why this error is happening? Browser does not open correctly an SVG file which is fine in Inkscape
by Dedeco Balaco 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hello, this is my first SVG file created from scratch in Inkscape. It has 6 layers just because i decided it should be good to keep some parts in separated layers to make final adjusts eventually easier. But after i finished, i opened the attached file in my browser, and it only shows the black rectangle and the skin line which borders the whole story. Why all the text does not appear there?
