Sorry, but how do you make it appear on start up? > # There's no close button, so that once open you need to use a title > bar button. > > Put together, I'd say that completely breaks all the conventions for > how a "Tip of the Day" should behave, not to mention, a user interface > convention. > > No idea why that had to happen, but it's almost at the stage where I > say it might have been better to take it out all together, or just > placed all the tips, on a single conventional help page. As you can see in the UI specifications for GIMP 2.6, the tips were supposed to be available prominently from the image window: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/No_image_open_specification#inside_the_.E2.80.98no_image.E2.80.99_window Unfortunately no one got around to implement this detail of the specification. If it bothers you enough to speak up on this mailing-list, why don't you make a patch that we can use for GIMP 2.8?
