Moini and brynn - THANKS!! brynn - The 'background color' option was completely under my radar, I guess I noticed it but apparently it didn't register in my head that maybe this is the option I should utilize. NOW I know, thank you! Moini - Yeah, I ran into 'gtkrc' during my futile attempt to see wh...

I have WIN 10 64-bit, using Ink 92. To reduce eyestrain, I've been told to try switching to Dark Theme, to cut back on the brightness. I did consult the manual but I didn't find anything there. I found some tips (Nick Saporito blog - he uses Inkscape almost exclusively and is a professional designer...

Thanks for sharing my feedback with them! I'm truly impressed with this program, still a bit intimidated by some stuff, but as I gain experience through trial and error my confidence is building. I just feel that it's easier to use than Illustrator, less steps involved to do basic things like bendin...

I am so overjoyed. I ran into some issues with my Adobe CC account a few days ago. And as some of you know, dealing with Adobe's so-called 'Customer Service' isn't exactly a joy ride. Anyway my account was cancelled, as I was just about to undertake a design project for someone. I freaked out becaus...

Yahoo! Thanks so much for helping me. I reinstalled Version 0.92 and I'm not having any error messages pop up. This is so awesome! I'm newer to Inkscape and really loving it, way more than Illustrator. (Even though I will need to learn AI 'cause all the employers want that). Thanks again, truly appr...

Thanks, I was thinking the msi type was 'better' than exe type but I guess I am wrong. I researched a bit and understand the differences somewhat. Thanks again, I truly appreciate your help!!

Yes, I did have an older version - it was uninstalled, as was the current version I was using. Now - I'm ready to re-install Inkscape 0.92.2. Question: I see there are 7 choices for Windows Users. I remember I was confused whether to download Windows : 64-bit : exe OR Windows : 64-bit : msi, OR Wind...

I see. Yes I installed the latest version of Inkscape, but apparently a glitch or two happened. I'll uninstall and reinstall again.

Thank you for your assistance, hope I don't have to come back here for awhile! But will keep you posted.

Ok I signed up at https://pypi.python.org, so that I can download whatever it is I need to per the instructions. But now I'm really confused! There's this long list of files, which one do I download, or all of them?

Oops, I didn't see that last part about downloading the 'latest version'.

I love Inkscape but it appears that I'll need to become more sophisticated in my understanding of programming stuff...

I attached the .svg file with the info you requested. Here's the error message: 'ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\python\Lib/hashlib.py", line 147, in <module> globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name) Fil...

Hello again, I've searched the forum ('Voronoi Diagram') to find a possible solution as to why I'm not able to draw one of these. I can't find an answer. I'm following along with a Youtube Inkscape tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve2NJOFfzfM). I've tried a few times, always get an ERROR me...

Precision was set to '2'.

Thanks again for all your help.

After work today I'll see how it is acting.

Just wanted to quickly say THANKS again. I love Inkscape for its simplicity and straightforwardness. 3 months ago I found Nick Saporito's Youtube Inkscape tutorials, and I am loving it. Down side is I have to learn Adobe Illustrator 'cuz that's what the employers want.

Hey! I set the precision to 8 in preferences, and I'm not experiencing any weirdness after I set the stroke to a Path. Cool! THANKS!!! Question re: where my Inkscape Preference file is and how to locate it. So, it's 'C:\Users\Beth/config/Inkscape/preferences.xml, correct? When I enter that in the Wi...

P.S. Ok I'm making headway ... I just learned that the Preference file is kept here:

~/.config/Inkscape/preferences.xml (0.47 and later)

So now I'm just searching around in my C: Programs/Inkscape for it. Not having much luck. If you have a tip for me, it would be appreciated. ha ha

By 'Preference File' do you mean the specific Pen setting? I took a screen shot of it. Will try to attach it. Sorry I'm not a real techie so sort of stumbling through this. .... Ok I rec'd a message when trying to attach the file that it was too big (I saved the screen shot as a .png in Paint)!! Are...

beth61_bezier_version_92-2.svg Tylerdurden - to clarify, you're suggesting that I duplicate the bezier line first (before I change it to a Path)? I just tried that, and I'm still getting strange result. Moini - Not sure what you're asking me to provide. But I'll add the steps I took before the end ...

Ok I just downloaded 92.2 and the exact same thing just happened! I created another sample file which shows the strange results. Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for the reply. It's not occurring when I scale objects up or down. (I'm aware of that button.) Let me clarify further. (sorry!) I create a simple straight Bezier Line. I attempt to change it to a path ('Stroke to Path'). After doing this, the line width becomes variable! I'm attach...

Hi, New member here. I've followed the guidelines re: seeking answers (looking at FAQ's, the manual, etc.) but have NOT found answer to my problem. It's this: my bezier lines seem to have a mind of their own. For example I create a simple straight line with the Bezier Tool and set its width to 1pixe...
