Existing default was requesting a window of size 1024×768 at position (200,100). While it may seem a reasonable default on nowadays displays, it was not on some intermediate size displays which are considered HiPPI anyway. Taking my personal example, my screen is 2560×1440, which is considered HiPPI by GNOME 3 with a scale ratio of ×2. As a consequence, setting a size of 1024×768 was actually creating a window of 2048×1536, which is already higher than the screen. Worse, gtk_window_resize() resize the window without taking into consideration the title bar, which in my case added 74 pixels, so GIMP window started at 1610 pixels of height, much bigger than my screen size, hence unusable (and for some reason, with the title bar out of the screen so without knowing Super+click shortcut to move or Super+Up to maximize, people would have a hard time to resize or close GIMP). This issue only happens at the first launch of GIMP, when no user sessionrc exists yet. Once you resize yourself the main window, then restart GIMP, it is fine (as next times, it will use the user's sessionrc). Yet it is already a bad first impression. For temporary workaround, let's use a smaller 800×600 defaults (which will actually span on 1600×1200 pixels + decoration size on scale ratio ×2). Still I don't like using arbitrary numbers for window size default. As we see here, it can end up into all sort of weird result. Even more with all the scale ratio business which didn't exist back in GTK+2. Instead, the defaults should have no size, and our code should just resize to whatever makes the most sense on the current display, which I believe should likely be maximized. Unfortunately I have a hard time with gtk_window_maximize() which doesn't seem to do anything at all (does GNOME ignore _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZE_* hints when requested by applications maybe?). So until we find the right system, let's go with this lower window size defaults at least. |

GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do what
you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For
detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
1. Web Resources
================
GIMP's home page is at:
https://www.gimp.org/
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient
forms-based interface.
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2. Mailing Lists
================
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion. There is more info at
https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html
Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer-list is oriented
to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop
GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to
subscribe.
3. IRC
======
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is
#gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet
servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
4. Customizing
==============
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop.
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file
to `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`. You can also manually change
the keybindings to any of your choice by editing:
`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`.
Have fun,
