# What is GIMPixel?
-GIMPixel is a set of brushes, palettes, and image templates designed to turn GIMP into an enjoyable piece of pixeling software. It's still in its infancy, so if you know a thing or two about configuring GIMP or would like to contribute brushes, palettes, or more, don't hesitate to join in!
+GIMPixel is a set of brushes, palettes, and image templates designed to turn [GIMP](http://gimp.org) into an enjoyable piece of pixeling software. It's still in its infancy, so if you know a thing or two about configuring GIMP or would like to contribute brushes, palettes, or more, don't hesitate to join in!
## Usage
-To use GIMPixel, you must run GIMP after changing the "GIMP2_DIRECTORY" environment variable. To do so, just run something like `GIMP2_DIRECTORY=.gimpixel gimp` and it should work without messing with your existing GIMP configuration.

+
+If you decide that you'd like to replace your existing GIMP configuration with GIMPixel, just move .gimpixel to your original GIMP directory (usually .gimp-2.x/)
+
+### Fluxbox
+Adding the following to ~/.fluxbox/menu should work:
+`[exec] (GIMPixel) {GIMP2_DIRECTORY=~/.gimpixel gimp}`
+
+# Roadmap
+* Provide execution directions for other common window managers or environments.
+* Add some additional interesting or useful brushes.
+* Find a way to set image or color bit-depth modes.
+* Include more palettes.
+* Begin the wiki and include some GIMP pixeling tips.
