[Gimp-developer] Hue-Saturation tool with gradients

[Marius B]

Hi,

It seems that nobody is interested in this enhancement, but IMO it`s a
nice feature that is worth discussing.
I would like to hear your opinion about my mockup of this dialog
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=92732
in bugreport
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461658

I know it`s not perfect, but it`s obvious for me, that the current one
needs some redesign.

Looking forward to healthy discussion
