Gimp-user is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
|
|
|
|
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer is oriented to
|
|
|
|
GIMP core and plug-in developers. Most people will only want to be
|
|
|
|
subscribed to gimp-user.

And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
|
|
|
|
the GIMP :-) On Byxnet (a private mostly-GIMP network) there is #gimp.
|
|
|
|
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the Byxnet servers are:

The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app
|
|
|
|
by editing the ~/.gtkrc file. Additionally GIMP reads ~/.gimp/gtkrc
|
|
|
|
so you can have settings that only apply to The GIMP.

Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop (tm).
|
|
|
|
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file to
|
|
|
|
~/.gimp/menurc
