Davin Turner Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm wondering... Is it possible for a Material Design theme of Paint.net to be made and installed?P.S., Sorry if I'm being ridiculous--I'm new here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yeah, that idea does seem rather ridiculous. User Interface design 101: Use the HIG for the specific platform. Of course the MS Windows HIG could be ignored and something like MaterialSkin could be used, but I doubt Rick Brewster wouldn't be interested in doing that.

david.atwell Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Not ridiculous, but also not likely. It's not something that could be added via plugins, so it would fall to the single developer on the project, and I very much doubt it would happen. As Toe said, it wouldn't really fit with the Windows look and feel. Welcome to the forums! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

rhroyston Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 A Material Design plugin would get someone lots of love and respect. I have never viewed Paint.net as a Microsoft centric product (since it's free it closer resembles open source) and see no reason why Material Design would conflict with Paint.net's constitution. I wish I could develop that plugin. It would surely become a top plugin quickly. I need that plugin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 A Material Design plugin? What would such a plugin do? Create prototype mockups or something? If you're wanting a plugin to give paint.net a custom Material Design UI, a plugin can't do that. Even Google says to use a platform's own design language. https://youtu.be/iJDoxOTyMdk?t=3237 17 minutes ago, rhroyston said: ...since it's free it closer resembles open source... Paint.net hasn't been Free Software or Open Source for a number of years now. It is freeware. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.
