If you're not good at #UILayout and you want a concrete example of a small thing you can do better:

The original Gimp had 25 tools. Yet they showed that as 6 columns, meaning you got a solid block of 24 tools, and then one lone tool on its own row in the list and a big gap.

Making this 5x5 tools would have led to a nice solid square, and grouping related tools would have made stuff easy to find (e.g. shapes and lines, retouching tools, bezier tools, viewport tools near each other).

The GIMP 1.1 tool palette.

@shezza_t Thankfully we were nowhere near Belfast today. I’m not even sure why they are here - there’s no big anniversary, and all they do is cost a fortune and take up space and time. We’ve seen more of the RF since #Labour won the election, that we saw in the previous twenty years - maybe it’s fulfilling Starmer’s ‘I’m a Unionist’ schtick. When they leave, I’d like them to take Lord Shaftsbury’s financial interest in Lough Neagh with them, and gift the lough back to Northern Ireland. His ancestors were given it for for free, and times have changed. Think Northern Ireland is pretty much over being occupied and colonised by now. #Think32 #UI #AbolishTheMonarchy

I'm tired of that "scrollbars" thing, which exists in every GTK3.0 application and found in the Internet a simple solution to bring back the ARROWS for the scroll bars.

Now I can sip the tea and blindly press the left mouse button to scroll by the one (!) finger, while the other fingers are in use :dragntea:

Unfortunately, the Firefox doesn't accept the GTK style. But at least it is possible to bring arrows back

Same scrollbars but with arrows
Windows 95 styled scrollbars. With the proper arrows.

The term "hamburger menu" is easily one of the most disappointing terms emerging from UI design. When I think "hamburger menu" I think "lunch," I don't think of an option-tree of dry technical capabilties. The day I click on a hamburger menu and a hot fresh hamburger appears upon my desk will be a fine day indeed. Until then, no.

Get over yourselves and trade with Ireland and Europe. Why are you still clinging to the coattails of an establishment and a country who really isn’t interested in doing business with you? That Nichola Mallon formerly an SDLP minister is parading this rubbish is embarrassing. #think32 #UI #NIPolitics #Brexit Brexit rules risk leaving 'gaps on shelves' in NI by July rte.ie/news/ulster/2025/0312/1
