Artbox
Data

What is Artbox Data?

Artbox includes a customized data repository that extends GIMP’s default resources with:

  • New Splash Screen: Custom startup screen for Artbox
  • Extended Icons: Additional icon sets beyond GIMP’s defaults

How It Works

The Artbox data is managed as a submodule - a separate repository that’s linked to the main Artbox project:

  • Synchronized Updates: Data stays in sync with Artbox releases
  • GIMP Compatibility: Built on GIMP’s data structure for seamless integration
  • Version Control: Each Artbox version references a specific data snapshot

Benefits for Users

Management

  • The data is maintained as a separate repository

Technical Details

For developers and advanced users:

  • Repository: The data is maintained separately at Artbox Data Repository
  • Integration: Linked as a Git submodule in the main Artbox build
  • Updates: Regularly synchronized with upstream GIMP data while preserving Artbox enhancements
