Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Got gimp, but never use it. If you give me quick steps to reproduce, happy to try.
I'm not sure how the new versions look, but here's something quick
When you open it up on the left side look for the paintbrush. If it's not a paintbrush it might default to the pencil (click and hold icon to see other options)

RED- Select the tool
YELLOW- Click Tool Options
GREEN - Click the Brush box to select the star
After the star is selected, check the Angle it provides below the brush selection
Thank you! I can't really ask any other community for this lol
Yep, exactly the same. All the other brushes are at 0 degrees, but the star brush is 17.5.
My gimp version 2.10.30 - default version installed with Ubuntu 22.
Thank you for verifying that for me!
We got em!
I am tempted to dig into the git checkins to see who actually made that change. But I am not familiar with the gimp file structure, nor where I can find the files for the brush shapes. Perhaps a project for a lazy sunday.
