You forgot that listing.
May I ask which Version of Kanvas-Buddy you have used? The original by @Kapyia, the patched original by @SchrodingerCat, or the one by @Halcyoen? Only the last two will work with Krita 5, but I recommend @Halcyoen’s version.

Hi!
When I used Halcyoen’s KB in krita 5.2beta, I got an error and could not start.

Is it just me or is this a problem?

[Taffs_swagging]

hey! I’ve been using kanvasbuddy for a while but ever since the beta releases of krita it doesn’t seem to be working anymore? whenever I try to use it only this pops up

[blowingking]

this is what pops up when I open KB and it’s not working is there a solution

[Michelist]

@blowingking, which version of Krita, Windows and Kanvas Buddy do you use?

The shown version of Python in your screenshot indicates that you are not running the current BETA. If you are running a Krita 5.x-Version, then you can use the version offered here by @Halcyoen:

KanvasBuddy - a Minimalist Toolbar

regarding "AttributeError: ‘QWidgetItem’ object has no attribute ‘itemAtPosition’ ". this is a bug in kapiyas official version of this plugin that shows up when the plugin tries to hide some buttons in the brush preset chooser based on their location in the ui. i guess the layout of the widget changed at some point on the way to krita 5 so the script can’t find those buttons anymore. i have made a patched version that you can download here: download source youll probably have to delete the f…

The thing is, on versions before the current BETA’s at least @Halcyoen’s version will work, so what are your “working conditions”?

Michelist

[blowingking]

thank you it works now

[Michelist]

Would you mind telling us what you did? Maybe someone can profit from your solution?

Michelist

[blowingking]

I just downloaded this version that you suggested and it worked KanvasBuddy - a Minimalist Toolbar - #165 by Halcyoen

[blowingking]

thank you for this amazing plugin now I can fully work in full-screen mode

[Michelist]

I don’t know if you are aware of @wojtryb’s ‘Shortcut Composer’, but that is a very good addition to Kanvas Buddy, and in many places a replacement as well:

Shortcut Composer v1.4.2 - Plugin for Pie menus, Multiple key assignment, Mouse trackers and more!

Shortcut composer v1.4.2 [python] [Code style: black] [License: GPLv3] [wojtryb website] [wojtryb twitter] [wojtryb portfolio] Extension for painting application Krita, which allows to create custom, complex keyboard shortcuts. The plugin adds new shortcuts of the following types: Pie menu - while key is pressed, displays a pie menu, which allows to pick values by hovering a mouse. Cursor tracker - while key is pressed, tracks a cursor, switching values according to cursor offset. Canvas pr…

Add/Edit: If you additionally install “Krita-UI-Redesign” from @slightlyangrydodo, then you’ll have an extremely comfortable workspace with everything one could possibly need while painting. At least, if you don’t take your favorite drink and small snacks for in between into account.

UI Redesign V0.2! Feedback and Test requested!

Brand new release of the UI Redesign plugin! Hello there, and it’s exciting to open up a new thread for brand-new feedback! It’s been quite some time since the last version, and A LOT has changed! Bugs were fixed, features were added, and refactors were made! Here’s how it’s looking so far: [v0.2] And here’s how it’s looking by default using my custom theme for comparison: [image] Light Theme (disregard the dark background, the settings weren’t doing anything I’m afraid) [image] You ca…

Krita UI Redesign v0.5 alpha released, requesting feedback!

Hello there! After quite a few months of on and off work, I think that the current version of the UI is stable enough for proper feedback once again. [image] Regarding the layers docker, the vertical separators inside each layer will be removed in Krita 5.1, a fix was just merged. To test it out, download the alpha here, and install using the instructions in the README. More suggestions, as well as general feedback will be greatly appreciated! Let’s try to get this in a “production-ready” s…

@KIO @PlestoceneGarbage @Taffs_swagging

i have updated my patch for Krita 5.2. you will need to reinstall the plugin:

download
source

(same links as in my earlier posts)

[Michelist]

@Halcyoen: Thank you for acting and updating one of my most popular plugins!

Michelist

[KIO]

Thank you for the update!
It was a very important plugin for me and I appreciate it very much!

[KIO]

That plugin is a good and useful one too.
I had checked it out too, but I didn’t think it was possible to register a docker. Is it possible?
I’m using a display that is not that wide, so KB would be very helpful.

[Michelist]

Shortcut composer is for very versatile pie-menus and allows configuring them the way you like, if your question was geared towards shortcut-composer.
For me, the advantage(s) arise out of the combination of the three plugins KanvasBuddy, Shortcut-Composer & UI-Redesign. And I have to admit using a relatively large workspace with my 3 display-setup, from left to right 24’‘, 32’‘, 37’', but unfortunately can’t paint currently because of a nervous disease.

Thanks for the reply. It’s a lovely workspace.
Please take care of yourself.
