Gradient Editor suggestion to improve colours

Hi,

using the gradient editor with the dark default theme, can any of the developers really easily recognize which segment is the active one?

Please: how can we make that so that it's clear where we are. I'm really struggling with this tool and not even being able to see what's active does not make it better.

Why do I have a "photoshop namespace" in my image?

I have created a new image in GIMP, opened a vector graphic that I made from scratch in Inkscape. So far so good. Did some coloring and moving around in GIMP. I saved my work. Checked metadata using exiftool. And found this:

Comment                         : Created with GIMP
Metadata Tag Name               : Exif.Image.BitsPerSample
Metadata Tag                    : 8 8 8
Metadata Namespace Prefix       : photoshop
Metadata Namespace Url          : http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/

I never used PS, so why is that in my files?

PS: just found out: it's already there when I just create a blank new picture with transparent BG and just save it as .xcf.

Is it really necessary that we have adobe in our OPEN Source made files?

Progress bar for python plug-ins

Hi,

is there a way to have a progressbar in the statusline for a python plug-in?

I've managed to display some text there, but not a real progress bar.

How can I make the onscreen Text tool fully opaque?

This seems to me like a crazy idea to make it transparent and it's really annoying when your eyesight isn't the best.

I need to make some changes to icon colours using the coloured icons not the stylized together with a dark theme.

Therefore:

I've copied the Default Icon folder from /usr/share/gimp/3.0/icons to ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/icons

Renamed it

In the scalable/apps subfolder I recoloured some of the icons using Inkscape because black is not well visible in a dark theme

I've then opened GIMP's settings and selected this copied icon theme, deselected the 'use stylized'.

As expected the icons show coloured now --- but my changes are not there.

So something that I've always been able to do in GIMP 2.10 does no longer work.

Why is that so? What did I do wrong? How can I make it work?

I need some frames/ borders round Elements because I cannot see where they start and end.
I've tried this in GTK-Inspector:

GimpOverlayDialog.background
{
border-color:rgb(128, 128, 128);
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
}

menu menuitem{
border-left: 1px solid rgb(128, 128, 128);
border-right: 1px solid rgb(128, 128, 128);
}    GimpOverlayDialog.background

It works.
Putting the same stuff in ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/gimp.css
Does not work. Why is that so? How to make it work?

Where would we find a documentation on how to create GIMP3 themes?

What are minimum requirements for a theme to be recognized as such by GIMP3?

(PS.: I know how to change the ones delivered with GIMP, but how to make a new one from scratch)
