</div>That's possible -- we could for some paintops paint the preview on top of a<br>
gradient. That would help with the eraser or the deform paintop. Maybe we can<br>
do an automatic check on the footprint of the preview painting, and then scale<br>
down?<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>When you scale the previews it's more difficult to compare brushes with different sizes as they appear with the same in the the preview.<br>I guess there is no way around it. How do other apps solve this?<br>

</div>That won't work: you cannot create fixed previews for presets, it is meant as<br>
a dynamic preview that really shows the effect of the options you tweak. I'm<br>
not sure how photoshop manages, but I'm aiming at the same effect here.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>Not fixed previews. I would like to have mockups to see how it should look before we start to implement it.<br>

</div>Which paintop is that? I don't seem to be able to find any paintop with a<br>
"Main" tab in my krita. A much bigger issue than nested tabs is that the popup<br>
doesn't popup completely inside my screen on the first click, only on the<br>
second click. I notice there are some other layout issues in other paintops,<br>
like deform, too.</blockquote><div><br>Dynamic brush. The popup shows up correctly here, maybe it's an issue that only happens on smaller screens.<br>The layout of of the widgets isn't very consitent, but that's a minor problem.<br>

My biggest problem with Krita 2.1 isn't any of these things, though, it's that<br>
it still starts at twice my screen height!<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote></div><br>Well that's a docker problem and happens in all KOffice apps.<br>
