MyPaint UI Brainstorm

MyPaint, the open source 2d graphics program for digital painters, is looking for ideas and input for a new interface.  If you ever got frustrated with UI elements of your favorite software, or wished things look this way or that way, now is your chance to post your ideas.  The communities behind open source software will allow your voice to be heard low and clear.

MyPaint is designed to be fast and easy.  The program tries not to bog down the artist, by letting her focus on the art instead of the software.  There are a number of open source painting applications that focuses on usability instead of trying to be ultimate image processing program.  The more notable ones are Krita, Flowpaint, Drawpile, and Gogh.  Even with its “keep is simple” goals, the current interface is a little too minimalistic.

So the developers are opening up to hear what the community has to say about this little 2d paint program.
