Win 2000 menu font colour
by Mike Dewhirst 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I'm seeing white menu font for Inkscape installed on Windows 2000. This makes Inkscape pretty much unusable when that font occurs on a white background. When installed on Windows XP from the same install kit the font colour is black and everything works well. Rev 0.45.1 Mar 21 2007 Thanks for any pointers Mike

Re: [Inkscape-user] Selecting "No" stroke

Indeed, no-fill too? /d I have been looking for this a long time. It would be so handy if there would be a very fast way (e.g., with one key stroke) to switch off either the stroke or the fill. Even if you already have the stroke/fill dialogue on the screen, it is one of those things you need so often, that it would be preferable (at least to me) to switch fill or stroke off.

If I am not misinterpreting what you are asking, you could use the (new) bucket fill to do this? Tony

Separating a self-intersecting curve
by Bill Baxter 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Is there a way to take a self-intersecting path or set of paths and dice them up into regions that can be filled? For instance if you draw a sketchy grid, with a set of wavy vertical and wavy horizontal lines, and you want to fill in the squares between the lines with different colors. If not, it seems like this could be a nice script to have. --bb

Re: [Inkscape-user] How do I color lettering with an image?
by Cedric Sagne 03 Apr '07

Hi iamnowhere, Assuming the background design is vectors, not bitmap or image, you need to select all the elements of it, and Object>Group. Then Object > Pattern > Object to Pattern Type your text and convert it: Path > Object to Path Right click on it and choose "fill" then fill with Pattern. Honestly for this job GIMP would probably be better suited IMHO Cedric

How do I color lettering with an image?
by iamnowhere 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I don't know if I worded the subject line accurately so let me describe what I am trying to do... I want to create lettering (for example, "God bless the USA") which has black stroke paint and white fill. Then, I would like to take an American flag, put it in the background and ONLY have the flag's colors show through the lettering (so it looks like the letters are the colors of the flag). Does that make any sense? So, how do I do it? Thanks for any and all help! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-color-lettering-with-an-image--tf3517899.htm… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

wacom tablet settings
by dwain 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

i'm using a graphire 3 wacom tablet on opensuse 10.2. The mouse and pen work, but the program doesn't see the tablet so i can set pressure and such. does the wacom driver for opensuse and inkscape not allow for such settings to be made? does the pressure setting operate automatically, thin lines - light pressure, thick lines - heavy pressure? or am i just stuck with it being operational at all? dwain -- Dwain Alford P.O.

Node Handles Invisible after Shape Creation?
by Axiom X11 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Trying to modify some shapes I made with the pen tool, I noticed that the node handles do not show up after the shape has been created. They do show up while drawing the shape, but once it is closed they seem to be invisible. Is this intentional? I found that you can hold shift and change the shape of the lines, or just grab the lines themselves and strech them like rubber bands, similar to the way they behave in Flash (but not the same). Sometimes though, I would really like to see those handles, so I don't have to guess where they are, and can really fine tune my curves. I found this page, I am not sure if it is relevant, since there is no date on it: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/kevincharles/inkscape/ncwf2.htm I experience this behavior in Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Mar 28 2007 and Inkscape 0.45.1, built Mar 21 2007

I'm just curious... what does the blur value relate to? Is it a percentage of some max amount of blur? - Tony
