I find myself often not using nodes for UI. Sometimes it even lets me consolidate logic in a single script, so it's even more convenient in some cases. In other cases, not so much, then I evaluate my options more carefully.

Aww thanks. I think I'm overrated in terms of how much I've contributed to Godot itself. But I think GodSVG is something truly unique, so I hope I'll manage to solve its technical challenges and make it generally useful.

Please consider donating to the project. Even a small donation would help me to dedicate more time to GodSVG, only at a fraction of the cost of a useless labubu.

Some examples of what the theming settings that are coming in GodSVG's alpha 11 (soon!) can do.

Please give me your feedback!

You can use the native file dialog if you want, in fact you need to opt into this custom one.

I've been working on small improvements and polish for the 11th alpha of GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor. It's going to be a big release.

You can now easily open files and folders in the file manager from the custom built-in file dialog.

I rarely download things, especially not things that probably have these issues, so I've never experienced this. Thanks for letting me in the know. Damn.

A community can't be conflated with the app itself, unless the documentation is stored there or something crazy. What exactly do you mean by gatekeeping?

Mew Pur Pur | Making GodSVG @mewpurpur.bsky.social · Aug 14

New in GodSVG: A preview canvas so you can actually see selection rectangles, handles, grid colors, etc. while you tweak their settings.

Alpha 11 is coming soon!

Last week I worked on demystifying GodSVG's settings menu. Instead of adding descriptions to my formatting and theming settings, I've added something I believe is much better. 🌥️

I've seen several Godot developers now annoyed that they have to either silence the warning or clutter their global signal list with warning_ignore. If that's you, use warning_ignore_start and warning_ignore_restore (version 4.4 or higher).

Old theme (first image), New default dark theme (second image). Can you notice the differences? If so, do you think it looks better now?

GodSVG has an export menu where aside from SVG, you can export the graphic as PNG, WebP, and JPEG.

GodSVG isn't a plugin, it's a quirky SVG editor that's a standalone application, like Aseprite, Krita, Inkscape. But it also has a web build residing in godsvg.com

Mew Pur Pur | Making GodSVG @mewpurpur.bsky.social · Jul 12

GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor made in Godot, will introduce configurable theming in alpha 11. Aside from the dark and light presets, there is a BLACK theme preset.

OLED users rejoice! Or maybe you don't use OLED and just like this one most?

GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor made in Godot, will have a LIGHT THEME ready to use in the next alpha!

Even if you prefer dark themes, someday you might need GodSVG while out in a bright sunny area, then you'll be glad this feature exists 🌅

Currently working on GodSVG theme customization! The default presets will be the default dark theme, a new light theme, and black (OLED). 🌄 🌌

But I've also made it so you can use all the disgusting color combinations your hearts desire!

@videogameseurope.bsky.social I have graded your response to Stop Killing Games.

Personal opinion: This initiative isn't important for gamers only. To my knowledge, it's the first to push back against hostile DRM invading everything in our lives - our devices, cars, homes.

GodSVG very explicitly avoids modern hostile practices, so this aligns with my values.

Mew Pur Pur | Making GodSVG @mewpurpur.bsky.social · Jul 2

My laptop is back from repairs and I'm already working on GodSVG alpha 11. I'll post more about it in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, please check out this initiative and spread the word - even if not a gamer: www.stopkillinggames.com

My plans for the next year of development:
1️⃣ Rework the handle system (Top priority)
2️⃣ Introduce themes
3️⃣ Rework the inspector to be much more powerful
4️⃣ Make the code editor more convenient

And many more smaller things. Reaching beta next year is possible - fingers crossed!
