Hello, I’m using Krita on two monitors and use fullscreen often (interface slightly distracts perception).
When I press Tab to enter canvas-only mode, all of dockers are hidden. I need Layers, Histogram and Tool options. Is it possible to make dockers visibility selectable. Like not all of them will hide.
In fact, on main monitor I use only Brush toolbar and Toolbox and want to toggle them on/off by Tab pressing. Maybe I can do this by some kind of script which executes show/hide command on necessary dockers.
Its very difficult to aim mouse pointer at edge of docker to resize it. It’s only 1px thick.
Non-docker related:
Is there any scrips like Ten brushes but for colors? Preferably more than 20, because palette docker is not so convenient for me.
3a. as for palette docker, it’s configuration is global program-wide. Is it possible to make per-document palettes? (stored within .kra files, not in %appdata%\roaming\krita\palettes)
Is it possible to make menu bar (File Edit View etc) disableable? or if it will show only after Alt key pressed (Windows 95 hotkey highlight behavior)
If there is script to toggle Brushes and stuff, Toolbox on/off, it will be very helpful. If there is no way to hide menu bar, I can keep it, it takes not so much space. The monitor is 70ppi (HP 32s)
I agree that this docker can use some rearrangement like for example the button for new pallete can be outside at the bottom of the docker, like it is in the layer docker. the plus icon for creating group can be different. etc.
I agree the docker resize when it is floating is cumbersome
This might not be a best solution but it can be done. Go to krita settings and uncheck toolbox and dockers in canvas only settings. This will enable dockers in canvas only mode. Then you can close the unwanted dockers and keep only the ones you want as floating dockers or fixed ones.
@Arleen_Lasleur: You can define in Krita under ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Configure Krita’’ >> ‘‘Canvas-only Settings’’ which parts of the user interface should be hidden in canvas-only mode or not, unfortunately not for standard mode. If you now create a workspace with the dockers you need in canvas-only mode and save the workspace, you can select it before switching to canvas-only mode. To create and manage the workspaces, the icon at the right end of the toolbar is responsible (if you haven’t removed it, but you’ll find it also in ‘‘Window’’ >> ‘‘Workspace’’ >> ‘‘New Workspace…’’).
There is a plugin exactly for that, called “Krita-UI-Redesign” which is very useful, and I always use it, both in canvas-only and standard mode, with it, you can show and hide both the Toolbox and Tool Options Docker in the canvas at any time. So it’s good for freeing up space when you need it, and having Toolbox as well as Tool Options Docker at your fingertips whenever you need them. A picture of what it looks like in my case when in canvas-only mode can be found here:
The plugin is featured here (but also briefly mentioned by me in my post linked above along with another huge space saver (and tool ‘‘provider’’) “Kanvas Buddy”, maybe you read the whole post?):
And for your color question, maybe you find “Buli Notes” or “TF Easy Colors Map” useful?
They have been asking for this request a lot for a long time, will one day be taken into account?
By the way, I’m not saying this in a bad way, it’s just that it’s a recurring request and it’s been taking a long time.
Yes, here are some examples:
# Brush Preset Docker
from krita import *
dockersList = Krita.instance().dockers()
for docker in dockersList:
if(docker.objectName() == 'PresetDocker'):
BrushPreset = docker;
# toggle the visibility of the docker
BrushPreset.setVisible( not BrushPreset.isVisible() )
# see if the widget is actually shown..or is an inactive tab
print( BrushPreset.visibleRegion().isEmpty() )
# makes sure the docker is shown if it is in a set of tabs
BrushPreset.raise_()
# Preset History Docker
from krita import *
dockersList = Krita.instance().dockers()
for docker in dockersList:
if(docker.objectName() == 'PresetHistory'):
presetHistoryDocker = docker;
# toggle the visibility of the docker
presetHistoryDocker.setVisible( not presetHistoryDocker.isVisible() )
# see if the widget is actually shown..or is an inactive tab
print( presetHistoryDocker.visibleRegion().isEmpty() )
# makes sure the docker is shown if it is in a set of tabs
presetHistoryDocker.raise_()
Don’t worry, I didn’t think of your question in bad way :). The bug report is old and it is also confirmed so it is definitely acknowledged by developers. But I do not know what priority is given to it. Even I want that feature
P.S. The brush preset chooser has a shortcut already right?
