A plugin for Krita.

What is Compact Brush Toggler?

Compact Brush Toggler is a Python plugin made for Krita (free professional and open-source painting program).

This plugin allows one access to "Use Pressure Curve" checkboxes, that toggles pressure on/off specific brush property and "Horizontal Brush Fade" Slider , that controls the horizontal fade/blur of the brush, from a smaller docker without opening the Brush Editor.

Notes

This plugin as of 5.2 uses Krita Preset class to set brush properties. Prior to 5.2 it traverses the ui to find the properties to set.

Plans --

Add / remove property to toggle
A way to change to a skinnier interface or maybe vertical stack layout.

Bugs and Known Issues

Currently the pressure setting initial states loads only upon selection of a brush. If the pressure setting is editted by the Brush Editor this current state wont reflect on the docker. You would need to switch to a different brush and back for it to properly reflect.
