The icon preview dialog now correctly shows the page background (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1537497 1537497]).

== Customization ==
 
=== Customize all files in the share folder ===
 
All files in <code>/share</code> can be over-ridden by placing files in the user's configuration folder (e.g. <code>~/.config/inkscape</code>).
Configurable contents now includes extensions, filters, fonts, gradients, icons, keyboard shortcuts, preset markers, palettes, patterns, about screen, symbol sets, templates, tutorials and some user interface configuration files.
 
=== Fonts ===
 
* Inkscape can now load fonts that are not installed on the system. By default Inkscape will load additional fonts from Inkscape's share folder (<code>/share/inkscape/fonts</code>) and the user's configuration folder (<code>~/.config/inkscape/fonts</code>). Custom folders can be set in preferences (see ''Tools → Text → Font directories'').
 
=== Keyboard shortcuts ===
 
* Allow to use "Super", "Hyper" and "Meta" modifier keys
* Improve shortcut handling code. This should fix a lot of issues and allow to use a lot of shortcuts which were inaccessible before, especially on non-English keyboard layouts.
 
=== User interface customization ===
 
* Inkscape is starting to use glade files for its dialogs so they can be reconfigured by users. Only one is currently supported (filter editor).
* The contents of the menus can be configured by customizing the <code>menus.xml</code> file.
* Toolbar contents for the command bar (<code>commands-toolbar.ui</code>), the snap bar (<code>snap-toolbar.ui</code>), the tool controls bars for each tool (<code>select-toolbar.ui</code>), the toolbox (<code>tool-toolbar.ui</code>) is now configurable.
* The file keybindings.rc allows you to... '''(TODO: do what? What does it do in comparison to keys.xml?)'''
* The interface colors and some more UI styles can be customized in <code>style.css</code> (very raw themeing support).
 
== Inkview ==
 
'''Inkview''' was considerably improved and got some new features:
 
* Support folders as input (will load all SVG files from the specified folder)<br/>The <code>-r</code> or <code>--recursive</code> option will even allow to search subfolders recursively.
* Implement <code>-t</code> or <code>--timer</code> option which allows to set a time after which the next file will be automatically loaded.
* Add <code>-s</code> or <code>--scale</code> option to set a factor by which to scale the displayed image.
* Add <code>-f</code> or <code>--fullscreen</code> option to launch Inkview in fullscreen mode
* Many smaller fixes and improvements
 
 
== Command Line ==
 
* [[Using xverbs|xverbs]] (command line commands that take parameters, e.g. for saving the selection under a specified filename as svg file) ([https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-devel/thread/33487d06-e3c1-a4e5-1496-7b370d672d2f%40gmail.com/#msg35392523 mailing list thread])
* New verb allows to swap fill and stroke from command line: EditSwapFillStroke (a keyboard shortcut can now be assigned to it) ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/675690 bug 675690])
* Files can now also be saved as Inkscape SVG without calling the GUI save dialog (new command: --export-inkscape-svg)
