- 'more lightweight', trimmer buttons
- limit the buttons
- to improve the ease of use we should implement some visual separation of tool groups (like 3px space). no collapsing or labelling thou
- toolbox should become an inspector, not another window (read analysis on windows/toolbox/inspectors )
- Icons in the Toolbox improvement:
- it should be more easy (quick) to recognize and identify an icon
- they should have strong contours, be good metaphors, differentiated by colours
- Pen and Pencil have almost the same angle and colour, at least the colour should be different
- Dodge/burn tool and Eraser need better icons which depict the actual effect
- Levels, Curves, Threshold should have icons representing their meaning & function, not by icons of their dialog window
- unless one Transformation tool is not implemented, all the transformation tools should have better icons, to distinguish one from another more easy
- Ink tool would be better represented by an icon of a nib, which is the essence of the tool;
- Measure icon tool should have less details; old one was better (look at www.docs.gimp.org )
