Using templates in Inkscape
The FAQ flavored series of Inkscape tutorials continues. Another popular question I keep hearing is in the lines of "Um, how exactly do I set a default page size?". Welcome to the world of templates. A template in Inkscape is a regular SVG document such as you create every time launch it. The same thing happens when you press Ctrl+N or use "File > New > Default" menu item: Local directory? A local Inkscape directory is the one that is created per user in a system. For Linux and Mac it is ~/.config/inkscape For Windows it is %APPDATA%\\Inkscape (just use it in Explorer as is) So if you want to have default documents with e.g. a different page size, all you need is to create a new document, change page size and save this document as default.svg inside templates folder of your local Inkscape folder. 1. 2. 3. 4. That's all, really. Defaulting Here is the list of most useful things that can be made default for a document: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. More templates? The future Any further questions?

How To Create a Stunning Vista Inspired Menu
This tutorial will show you how to make a semi-transparent Vista-inspired menu using gradients, shadows, and blurring to produce a stunning modern effect. Step 1 Open a new canvas that is 600x335px.

Step 2 Create a Rectangle (U) that fills the lower ruled area and label the layer "lower bar." Now create another rectangle in the upper rules area and name the layer "upper bar." Step 3 The next step is to add a highlight to the menu using the Line Tool (U). Step 4 Now that the menu bar is complete, we can create a set of dividers to go between the text. Draw another vertical line from the center ruler going down and stopping the same distance from the edge as above. Step 5 Select the Type Tool (T) and change the color to white (#FFFFFF). Now copy your dividers and space them in between the links. Step 6 Step 7 First of all, duplicate the background. Step 8 Step 9

You can learn and learn and learn and still not get to the end of the info! So we’re going to wrap up today. After this, you’re on your own, because there is not one iota of brush-related info left in my head…. What are Other Uses for Brushes in PSE?
