Thanks for the kind words! How is it in terms of updating the plugin itself? ---

What do you mean? - resources page is just an internet website from which you can download a user-made plugin. It’s not in krita by default. It’s all about making it easier to find for krita users. You just update it as always by merging to master. ---

It’s here: [https://docs.krita.org/en/resources\_page.html#user-made-python-plugins](https://docs.krita.org/en/resources_page.html#user-made-python-plugins) and it would just link to [https://github.com/veryprofessionaldodo/Krita-UI-Redesign](https://github.com/veryprofessionaldodo/Krita-UI-Redesign) - the same way you don’t need to update the description here, you won’t need to update it there, unless you move the repository. I would quite like a solution for how to tell users how to download a plugin from the Github page, since most plugins are on Github and not every one has “Download latest release” link in README. For less tech-savvy users, a Github page might be slightly confusing. Also it would be different if the plugin was to be included in Krita by default. On Resource page, the rules are simple, must be working, must be useful, must not be dangerous to users. In Krita, there must be a maintaner who is responsible for fixing bugs if someone encounters one, it must be useful for the code userbase (not some niche feature), must be GPL or CC0 (well, all plugins must be GPL since they use Krita API but for random plugins around the internet it’s sometimes overlooked), etc. The maintainer would have to make a MR every time the plugin has improved, etc… ---

I see. I also agree that there should be an easier solution for downloading the plugin itself instead of linking directly to Github. I’ll work on getting the plugin to the Resources page this weekend then! 😃 ---

Well I agree I know I must be super annoying once I have a new update and place the same link over and over again to update to the new version once I get it up and running. Like if plug-in installer could use a github link would be sick and cross platform I imagine. And uninstalling it if a error was encountered on boot. But I am just day dreaming lol. ---

I have seen people downloading youtube videos with python alone I think github would not fuss as much. But if someone makes it may it be called … Github plug-in manager If I would give it a go it would not be just yet yet I have still more features to implement that should be annoying. But I can keep it on my to do list. But I have been toying with some other ideas. ---

That great to know and could be very useful. Is it possible to add function to enlarge vector anchor points icon size in vector anchor points panel?. Or add text description near the icons. They look very small. Thanks ---

Awesome Plugin 😃! I tried using a white theme today cause it was reaaaally bright, and I notice that the plugin doesn’t work well on bright themes: Flat theme on \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Off ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/c/0/c08c3a3a7d3af32953891965d8061dc677ee9d2e.jpeg) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/7/3/73cb32da47b0009d9b98aab6757e7f005cbfcd93.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/2/52be9addb3b63e59731b34ccc2171134fa490599.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/c/5c5eb309f1a1dc1c86f11eb351700016a3c57e0d.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/f/4/f4de573bb4514b57d2750eb1a2fd2afcb0c4db9f.png) ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/d/5d241a9c1a566880d8b9c7057e4e0f1673518fba.png) And, can I ask you a thing? I really enjoy using LAB Slider, but the default has the text “lightness” too long: ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/7/a7d81f6f11b339363f3510b57b628fb08f83648c.jpeg) I’m not sure if it’s possible, but can u make it look like that? ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/c/c/cce4f03143e0fa9662345986435ef81f0b585ad8.png) ---

There is already a Python Plugin Installer or however it is called, recently it has been fixed to include the action files and enable plugins so only one restart is needed (thanks to @Rebecca, I believe), I guess adding this functionality might be a good idea too (but it would need to display some warning or caution text or something before downloading). It would probably need a confirmation from @halla if it would be possible to integrate with default Krita though, for security reasons and whatnot. ---

I don’t think it would be too much work to extend the Plugin Importer so that you have the possibility to paste a Github URL instead importing a downloaded zip. I’ve noticed myself that the download link on github is hard to find if you aren’t logged in. Though that would only take care of the initial downloading, or manual updates by the user. ---

Yeah, light themes are definitely borked for now, sorry about that! Regarding the lightness, I think it would be easier to do that in the source code itself, but I don’t know whether that is a definite improvement to warrant altering the source code. Regardless, I’ll look into it 😃 ---
