hi,
 
some time ago there was a thread about changing the brush icon between showing the brush size and a precise crosshair. I can't seem to locate that thread, but if I remember rightly it was suggested that the change should happen at mouse-click, or when holding the mouse button down.
 
Now I've just discovered, quite fortuitiously, that in photoshop (at least in Elements 2, so presumably also in PS7, on which the elements code was based) that you can toggle between these icons (i.e. brush outline vs. crosshair) using the caps-lock key.
 
Maybe that might be a good idea for GIMP also?
 
/Gary

Maybe you should post that suggestion to the gimp-developer list. There
was a discussion about the brush outline recently and your suggestion
might turn out to be useful for that.

Ohhhhh.....
That's probably why I couldn't find the thread - I must've been looking in the wrong archive!!!!
 
Thanks, Sven; I will post the suggestion there....
