GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337733
Gradient thumbnail duplication on website
Last modified: 2006-04-09 03:32:09 UTC
The thumbnail for the gradient "coffee" is the same as that for "CD", though it's shifted to the right a pixel or two.
2006-04-08 Carol Spears <carol@gimp.org> * resources/gradients/Coffee.png: replaced Coffee.png with an image of the Coffee gradient. I will check back to make certain the web site has updated itself.
Yes, it has changed. Appears to be a two-toned checkerboard pattern with what looks like two gradated and mostly transparent pixel lines on the right hand side. Is this correct?
The format for these gradient samples was use the blend tool and make a linear blend in a line across the center of the image. Since many of the gradients have transparency, using the gimps "transparency" seemed to be the best option when we were deciding what should go where and how it should look for the site way back when. The samples are made with a script, so we decided that the default gimp transparency checkerboard would be the best. However, when I saw how this gradient did not show so well, I filed bug #337745 so that I will remember to change this in the next version of the web site. Play with it a little and feel free to make any different suggestions on #337745 keeping in mind that they need to be made with a script. Thanks for pointing out the mistake! I personally love coffee!
