It's too bad one has to resort to using other programs for pixel perfect borders (as if there ever was such a thing). That means it's impossible to write a Script-Fu for it (unless you are *really* ambitious) and also that you can't use GIMP's gradients to fill the border or the background of the box. A sad day this is. -- Deniz Dogan _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
