Hi guys. I’ve been using GIMP for a while and I love it. Now, I’m a college student and I have to pay for my own way through college. I thought about GIMP and remembering how it has helped me in the past, by retouching my and my friends’ images. At the time I wished there was an easy way for me and others to use the program. Then I decided to create 10 retouching image tutorials and recorded them on DVDs that was user friendly and easier for people to use. I would like to sell the DVD for $14.99, which would greatly help me through school. Please purchase this product to support my efforts and the GIMP community. Thank you very much.

Thank you guys so much

quote: "your os should provide a mean to keep that window over the other ones."

Windows does, if the window you create is set that way. The toolbox shouldn't be a top level window to begin with.

Try using desktop pins to 'pin' the toolbox on top…no more irritating alt-tabs to get you lost in the windows….however im sad that resizing the brushes option (vector brushes) is no yet implemented :(

ahh David we randoms are all different, but i'm the one above in these comments. now I see why it doesnt work, people dont care about what doesnt affect them, basically they said "we dont use windows dont make a modification for windows" . I dont want to work on implementing it into windows because i dont know much, or care to learn about the language to do this.

you have to wonder about this though how long has gimp been available for downloads? all versions? some years now. how long has people been asking for it to have the tool and paint window up at the same time? the same length of time. It seems like the team at gimp is deliberately stepping over themselves to not implement a working system. hey it's their choice to do so, we windows users dont like it though.

MSPaint>Gimp simply because tools are available to the left. makes no sense but it's how i feel.

I tend to use Krita 1.6 for most things these days.

At least The Gimp is still progressing, though rather slowly.

Ignore 'random', he seems to be a troll that I've seen also on other GIMP related sites.

People saying GIMP should have a tools on top option for windows: It does, it's the same option as on Linux. It doesn't work because GTK+ doesn't yet implement the required window hint correctly for Windows — if you want it fixed, go work on GTK+.

The improved panning is pretty handy for textures and tiles.

I wish I could use only one window and sock the tools like some of you already said. I just cant understand why it wont work. Is there something gimp has against windows. Just make it an OPTION GEEZ is it really that hard to do for software programmers or what?
