------------------------------
Photo and Image Kooker Application
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: PIKA 3.0. PIKA 2.99 may or may not do
what you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use PIKA 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
If you want to hack on PIKA, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.

For the real junkies, there are IRC channels (e.g. #pika or #pika-user)
devoted to PIKA on PIKANet (a private free software oriented network).

Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the PIKANet servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667

More discussion channels, such as forums, will be listed on the above

Links to archives of former discussion methods (e.g. mailing lists) are
also included in that page.

4. Customizing
==============
The look of PIKA's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, PIKA reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/PIKA/2.99/pika.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to PIKA.
You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/PIKA/2.99/shortcutsrc`.
Have fun,
