It's very stable & really does almost everything Illustrator does, only it's WAY better because it's Open Source & totally FREE. Making the above changes took about half an hour & now Inkscape. Just Google "Inkscape Mac GTK themes & toolsets". There are several sites that show you how to do this. The next step Install Inkscape, a free vector design software for Linux. I upgraded the butt-ugly Inkscape Windoze GUI theme to a snazzy dark grey GTK theme & tool set, which makes it look & almost like native Mac software. Its smart to choose a Linux distro for vector and graphic designing.

I makes my workflow much smoother & more efficient. This means I can use Inkscape without constantly stumbling around the keyboard. I altered the XQuartz (X11) keyboard commands to use the Command key instead of the Control key.

91 runs almost like a native Mac app-once I made two changes:ġ. Inkscape was always awkward on a Mac because it used X11 & Windoze key commands & the clunky Windoze interface.īut now Inkscape. I've been waiting for the promised Inkscape Mac native version for years, ever since Adobe bought & killed Freehand because Illustrator couldn't compete with it.
