Krita has pretty powerful transforming already - if it just worked the way you guys intended it... I am more and more surprised by this software in a very positive way. Thx for fast answer. Now I can probably catch some sleep

Sleep well and sweet dreams!

Thanks, that was a long nap
Did you mentioned something about new build coming? I know it takes time, just dont want to wait for something that may not show up in nearest future Back to Krita...

The KO website needs updating... But you can already get the new file: http://heap.kogmbh.net/downloads/krita_2.5.7.2.msi.

In other news, my workstation blew a fuse on Thursday. First usb ports all got fried, then the windows partition got damaged, then the backup of the windows build environment got corrupted... So basically right now I haven't got a working windows build env anymore. A new build might take a while...

Thank you good sir!
Now there is one good news and a whole bunch of bad ones... Damn... I know how is it - I am living in a very small town in south Mexico. If something is broken I need at least week and a half to get parts sent from good but very distant shop. And that if I have extra money that I usually don't
Last time took me about three months to earn extra money and replace fried video card... Are you talking about same time more or less? Just want to know - I became a bit obsessed with Krita. And you have a key role in getting windows builds
All the best in a long way back to normal after all that failures that happened to you.

Have a good weekend - or at least try

[edit]
got new build installed. Is there some place to check what was changed or guessing is a way to go? I see some new presets, icons..

It won't take quite so long, I hope. But I'm a bit stumped since Microsoft's visual studio 2010 crashes when compiling stuff on Windows 8, while msvc2012 crashes in the installer. Fortunately, I've got a license for the intel compiler, which works. Except that some dependencies for krita don't compile... Need to fix that first.

How's it going? Any news from the front?

I was checking latest windows build and I noticed that now I can actually change some themes. Great! So happens that David Revoy on his blog uploaded really cool, clean Krita themes - even better! Of course David had in mind Linux version but it is ok on windows as well. Well... partly. Some elements seems to be always the same which is ruining theme and overall look. It is specially visible on darker themes. Here is a quick screenshot with red arrows pointing to areas of my concern. Is it possible to change color of those, am I missing something? And if its not - are you planning to make it possible on windows?

Hope you will get your machine fixed soon

I'm still struggling... I've got most of the system setup again, except for krita itself and the installer. In the process, my build system got corrupted twice more, and I'm suspecting some evil hardware problems now. But there's progress.

David Revoy's themes will be installed by default with krita 2.5 and later, but I'm not sure I can do something about those elements you pointed out. I'm afraid they might be hardcoded in the windows vista widget style Qt provides, but I will have a look.

Well I dont know much about programming (ok, I dont know nothing except basic from commodore 64 ) but I am on windows 7 not vista - just so you know. Also I noticed that exactly same bar I have in total commander and FastStone Image Viewer. So I see that it is kind of standard look. Yet - if you take a look at FastStone Image Viewer (its free although not Open source - you can grab it here for reference http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm ) you can see that this certainly can be changed (under settings/skin). Hope this can be of any help.
Krita with those settings looks extremely good! It would be shame if windows version would miss it or have it in ... castrated form (so to speak ). Program still would do its job, but I guess its the difference between serving dish on the plate or newspaper. Good luck figuring this out - I really wish to be of more help but my most successful app was a spinning pentagram on c64 so....

I am sorry - trying to not flood forum with posts but since I am just working on some illustration and I didnt really run into new bugs I just want to ask whats up. Did you had some time to work on it? Hows your system going. Appreciate any answer

I've mostly been working on Krita Sketch, the touch-based version of Krita for Windows. As part of that, I got Krita compiled with reduced dependencies and with a better compiler, Intel's C++ composer, but there are some runtime errors. I still need to setup a new development virtual machine for the full, mscv++-based version of Krita.

Bug-wise, I haven't been able to do too much since I was sick most of this week.

Get better man!
I hope you guys will not just leave desktop Krita and move completely to "sketchy/smudgy with your finger" version I am trying to make it my main painting application - so far so good...

The main version will still be the desktop version. Touch interfaces can't compete with graphic tablets.

slangkamp - good to know
boudewijn - how is your health man, doing better? I saw some activity on the bugzilla - hope youre ok. Any progress on windows desktop?

OK, back to business, another little glitch - at least I think it is one. In a docker "Reference Images" I cant reach other disks then C:\. Does not matter how many times I click UP or HOME or even manually place other disk letter. Is there a way around it or its a bug?

Yeah, I started working again today . Putting a devel environment on my windows 8 laptop, getting rid of some obnoxious windows issues, but I haven't yet recovered my installer build environment. That's on the cards for Wednesday. This weekend I'll be attending the KDE on Windows sprint, hopefully learning a lot!

I just checked the image docker, and I don't think it's so much a bug as an oversight: the author never realized that on Windows, there's no root for all file systems. Could you report it to bugs.kde.org? I'm not sure when it will be fixed, there's plenty to do, but we need to have the issue on record.
