Hey John,

<question>
Would you be willing to take a serious look at a user interface concept for 
Krayon if I mocked one up? Some of the changes I'd propose are dramatic, so 
some requests aren't for the short term, but I'm already seeing the gestation 
in Krayon of an interface that I'm not going to love. I'd love it more than 
Gimp, of course, but I love most things more than Gimp, so we're not making 
much progress :). 
</question>

<ego>
I've used Photoshop for 6 years, Gimp for about 9 months, Lightwave 3D for 
several years. I'm an accomplished software developer, and through my small 
company (www.digitalspinner.com) I've led the design of over 100 web sites 
using the aforementioned tools.

<reasoning>
I think Krayon has the potential to evolve into a powerful and productive 
tool for digital design (web sites, multimedia, etc.). However, I'm watching 
user interface rules being applied to Krayon that are meant more for 
text-oriented applications like Kwrite, Kword, etc.  
</reasoning>

I've got some sound concepts that a) aren't frustrating like kivio's wierd 
panels, and b) significantly decrease mouse clicks and cursor movement that 
ultimately slow down and obstruct the creative process. 

All the best,

Sean.
