Marc Jeanmougin, a member of the Inkscape board based in Paris, spoke to The Register about the new release. There are some breaking changes in the new version, especially with extensions, most of which will need to be updated to work with this release. You can also set a custom GTK3 theme, and import new themes by moving them to the themes folder. The user interface is more customisable than before, with the ability to modify menus via an XML file and to configure interface colours and styles by editing a CSS file. There was intended to be support for adding CSS classes and styles to elements, though the team said: "There are a couple crashes, which is the reason why the dialog has been disabled for the 1.0 release." The feature is now documented as "experimental". A new export format is HTML5 canvas, which saves an image as code to render it on an HTML Canvas element.
Some new options are aimed at web developers. A new tool in Align and Distribute, called on-canvas alignment, lets you align objects relative to the current selection by clicking them three times. Inkscape is now a native application on MacOSĪ new measurement tool shows the length, height, width and position of a path when you hover over it, while the improved context menu has been extended to offer hide/unhide and lock/unlock options.
