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

>Screenshot attached. Very strange. Just to be sure, could you please pull the latest one here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/inkscape/inkscape/share/sc… and see if it's broken for you too? Any warnings printed on the console?

Does anyone have a gallery of work, or images online that were created with Inkscape. I am looking for artists whom have created work that we can link to on the website. If you would like to post your gallery of svg artwork, you can do so on the wiki. Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...41...>
