Hi,
Hi,
First I would like to say that all the information you supply is very
detailed but a little hard to find. It appears that you have covered
the almost everything one would need to know. The trade off between a
little hard to find and not presenting the information one can possibly
need is tricky. I think you have balanced as far as I can tell. The
program is ok as far as I can tell.
I would like to know more about your program but one thing I can't get
around and allow me to use your "Tutorials" is this:
The graphic coloring scheme is user defeating. What I mean is that by
using white text on colored backgrounds make it tiring to view to my
eyes and dissemble/think about what you are attempting to convey. I can
not get by your color presentation. It is "very painful" on the eyes. I
realize that many thousands of folks have used this program and are
probably not bothered by the color mode. You might want to poll your
users and ask them if they would object to change to simple black on
white schemes in the web tutorials and informational instructions? I
believe color adds to the presentation --boarders, icons and the like.
but not for reading text on a computer.
Again kudos for the Gimp Image Editor. Graphic background: ProE, Autocad, PS Pro.
I hope this one criticism will not be taken personally. This is meant
to be a well meaning suggestion and I hope others agree and feel the
same way I do with regards to eye strain.
Thank You,
Bob

The web site uses this style sheet: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp-web/plain/style/wgo.css
If you helps us and provide a modified style with different colors (and
maybe other changes), we could add that and allow the users to select
from different styles (like this:
http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/alternatives.en.html).

I could take a stab at creating an alternate stylesheet - but would we need to implement a way to make choosing alternate styles easy/ier for an end user? Many people may not want to install a chrome extension just to choose alt styles (and there should be a way to make that mod on the fly, iirc).

The current color scheme was put together for GIMP 2.4.
While it has been refreshing for a mostly B&W web for a while, I agree, and think most people do, that we are a bit tired of that color-scheme for now. And for others, as Bob wrote, it can even be a major showstopper.
All in all, if you could take a pick for an alternate style, I'd be
all for it. we might throw a new
scheme as official as soon as possible - anyway, if you get the write
another CSS and people
prefer to wait for a new GIMP release to change the main page scheme,
I'd happily fiddle with some
mechanism to allow one to choose styles on the page.
