View 4 RepliesI am on SUSE 12.2 kde, gimp-2.8.0
The icon spacing in the toolbox randomly changes its inter iconspacing, see [URL] .........
The only way I can get it back to normal seems to be to close gimp downand restart it
Maybe it has been corrected in 2.8.4 but SUSE haven't offered this intheir repositories.
Is there another setting that I can tweak to restore the inter iconspacing.
I've opened a gif file (web icon) which has shades of green. I want to use this on another site of ours which is similar but has shades of orange.
I use the dropper to select the color from a gif on the orange site - so the color is there in the color section box.
When I try to draw / fill on the green gif it ignores the orange color selected and uses a green from green gif. A lighter orange gives a lighter green.
How to change the color of an icon (ex: from black to grey). My problem is that the end result is sometimes an icon that is partially transparent.
Here is what I am doing:
1) I open the image of which I want to change the color (black icon over transparent background)
2) Create a new layer and color this in white.
3) Merge the two layers
4) Create a new layer and color this with the color I want for my icon
5) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
6) Select the current color of the icon
7) Click Ok - Now icon color is the wanted color over a white background
8) Create a new layer and leave this transparent
9) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
10) Select the white color (current background color).
11) Click Ok - Now icon background is transparent, but icon color is also partially transparent.
Is there a way how I can change the color of an icon without getting the icon color transparent.
I have some text icons on my phone size 48x48.. i am trying to get them chrome / metallic . Is there an easy way 9well easy for me way ) to do it . i have followed this
[URL]........ and all the other ones are the same but am stuck i just cant seem to do it .
I probably overlooked something in the documentation, but I have a hard time saving an image with the exact colors I want:
1- I have created an image with a specific shade of blue in background: #e4eaef.
2- If I use the GIMP color picker, I can see that the background is exactly #e4eaef.
3- I save the image as a png.
4- I open the png in the browser (Firefox), and I measure the color of my background with a system tool (Digital Color Meter), and it has changed to #dde5ea, which is not cool, because it doesn't blend on my web page.
I also used Digital Color Meter to measure the color directly on Gimp, and I have also #dde5ea.
I've been a Gimp user for a while, and I recently upgraded my not-so-reliable Windows PC to a Mac Mini running OSX Lion.
However, after installing the Snow Leopard version of Gimp (which works fine otherwise), I have found that unlike the Windows and Linux versions of Gimp, the toolbox does not stay on top of the other Gimp windows.
(Windows XP)The toolbox and the layers-brush box are always appearing on my system when GIMP is running.
I can minimize all my GIMP windows, but those boxes stay up.
I can "show desktop" and they will disappear but then the moment any other window is up, they appear once again.
This gets very annoying when I leave GIMP open while working on other things.
Is there any way I can set them to minimize when all the other GIMP windows are minimized?
I'm using 2.8.4 in multi windows mode fullscreen. Sometimes the toolbox willdisappear. I have to hit my Windows key and then click on Gimp in the Windowstoolbar to make it come back.
I'd really like to have an option to dock the toolbar and have the dialogs openin new windows. I keep my screen real estate maximized. My tool box is 2 columnswide and squashed to the limit. Not only is it an extra step to undock dialogsin single window mode, I have to widen my toolbox to get to the tab to drag thebox.
I am in no way upset about any of this. Gimp has saved me a few hundred dollars. [URL]....
Using Windows 7 with Gimp 2.6.8 I can't hide the toolbox. If I click on the x-box the entire app closes. I can't see anything in Preferences. ?

Basically, every icon in the toolbox has a large empty space to the right of it. The occurs both in single window view and in modal view.
When I resize the toolbox the icons keep this right space around them, always re-positioning so that most of the icons are not included in the toolbox.
The only way I can see all the tools is to reduce the width of the toolbox to one icon, then they all line up vertically. But I have having it set up like this, and even then the last few are cut off by the bottom of the screen.
I have gone through all the settings menus and can't seem to find anything about it. I removed GIMP with the --purge option and reinstalled; this fixed it for a day, now it's right back to where it was.
I have just loaded 2.8 with much anticipation and found that the default toolbox is fixed on the right-hand side of the screen adjacent to the dock able toolbars.
Is this normal for 2.8? It seems weird that it would now be positioned on the right.
I'm running GIMP on a Mac.So I was happily editing a photo, everything going perfectly great, when I must have inadvertently hit a certain key, and now the bottom half of the toolbox is gone.In its place is a message that reads "You can drag dockable dialogs here."
If I want to use the clone tool, I can't see where to choose a brush and select its size. If I zoom into an image. I don't have the Zoom Out tool to click on. I want it to be the way it was, with the Toolbox Option located directly below the toolbox, the way it was when I first got it.
On the GIMP home page it says GIMP v2.8 was released on 2012-05-03.On the downloads page it says for Ubuntu use the Ubuntu Software Centre.That only has v2.6.12 .There doesn't seem to be any other way of getting it.
I want the latest version because various posts indicate the counter-intuitive behaviour of Toolbox Window etc has changed, and it seems pointless to complain if it has already been fixed.
My question on v2.6.12 is: since there are only 3 tools in the Toolbox that I ever use,and no buttons to bring up the Brightness/Contrast dialog etc,how do I change the contents of Toolbox ?In most apps, for example Firefox, you have View > Toolbars > Customiseand can then drag and drop the buttons you use regularly from/to a pool of buttons.
I thought there must be at least a plug-in that does that, because it is so obvious,but the plug-ins registry doesn't seem to have anything like that under Toolbox or Toolbar.
I've tried the standard solution of File>Windows>Dialog boxes>layers
But that does absolutely nothing. Pressing CTRL+L does not produce the box either. Since its a fresh install and i have not closed it by accident i cannot reopen it using the recently closed windows option.
Is the layers box docked to another window by default maybe?
Also when i make a selection and paste it into as a new image with a transparent background the selection becomes transparent and i don't know how to make it fully opaque.
Just got started with GIMP as a trial to see if I don't have to buy Photoshop since I upgraded my Mac from powerPC to Intel...
The problem: When I want to use a tool and put the cursor over it, a tool about 15 icons below it gets selected.
I get this with the mouse and the pen tablet.
I use Mac OSX 10.8.2
I am currently trying to edit some graphics for a newsletter, using GIMP 2.6. However, I can't get the icons in the Toolbox to make any changes on the graphics. These include the Selection, Pencil and Paintbrush icons.
I have tried saving the graphic in several formats, including GIMP's .xcf format, but that doesn't work.
How do I get the toolbox and the layer window attached to the main window? Right now they're hidden behind the main window and it's extremely annoying since I like to have the main window maximized.

For some reason, when I bring up the scale tool, the toolbox appears to the right of the screen, half cut off and under the Gnome toolbor. I've tried moving it, but it is being stubborn. This appears to be the only box having this problem, right now.
Ubuntu 12
Gimp 2.8.10
I dunno if it is me, kde, gimp, or what.. but I can be editing along..yada yada.. do this, do that, and then look over and the toolbox on the left is missing most of the icons.. kinda like the scaling is wrong and the icons are pushed off the bottom under the tool options underneath it. sometimes it takes the usual layout with like 5-6 icons wide and replaces it with only 2 wide, sometimes only 1 wide. I tried stretching it and bringing it back, floating and redocking.. all with no fixy.
The only way I have figured out how to "undo" this is to close and restart gimp. Which is a pain when you have a mess of open files in various states of not done yet..
When I open Gimp, I have my Toolbox and Layers and everything. But, when I click on the picture I'm editing, both the Toolbox and Layers minus out on me, and, to select another brush or tool or something, I have to manually open it back up every single time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to dock some tabs (tool options, layers, colors...) in the toolbox? or dock the toolbox in a multitab tool window with tool options, layers, colors.. ? would be nice to have only TWO windows: one for the image (without pollution), one "service" window !
This was possible in 2.6, but not (for me) in 2.7.4.
Running in 'single window mode' the toolbox is running off the screen in a single row.
How can I reset this so all of the toolbox is showing in a box along the left side, taking up an upper third or so while leaving space for a dock below,
I'm using GIMP 2.8.4
One day, my Toolbox suddenly started showing "double tools". All of the tools are repeated twice.
I've played with all of the Toolbar setting, but I've been unable to get rid of this annoying problem!
I'm using Gimp 2.6.8 on Windows and, somehow, the Tool Options separated into a new window a week or so ago. I tried docking it back to the Toolbox, but nothing is working.
I googled and found that this is normally fixed by dragging Tool Options onto the Toolbox, but there is nowhere for me to do that. Is there some trick or maybe this is just a bug or something? Nothing seems to work and the separate Tool Options window is incredibly annoying.
How do I remove three images on the cursor when I have selected certain tools from the toolbox in Elements 9? I have just gotten a new computer and 9 was transferred to it from my old computer. Have never had this problem before.

I'm using GIMP 2.8 on a windows machine. In single window mode I accidentally dragged the edge of the toolbox across my window and now it won't drag back. I get the resizer double-headed arrow but the edge won't move. I don't know what to do. It's entirely unusable in single window mode now, which is what I usually use.
