Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren’t interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?
Yeah, the floating windows were a nineties thing, until maybe mid-2000s. Either Borland’s IDEs or Visual Studio had bonkers layouts with everything floating. Even some games like ‘Worms 2’ and ‘SWAT 2’ used that. Thankfully with Gimp I just put everything right like it was in PS and let it hang there, until they shipped the single-window mode.
