Move this area into a tab for a cleaner UI + more space for you canvas
Where should the tab be?
What I could do is using only one line with all the information. Currently, the coordinates use their own line.
Something like top right
let users adjust input boxes by clicking and dragging (
With Numscrubber.js it’s not an edit field anymore. I want to let the user also enter numbers. That’s why the trackbar is an add on.
Yes, definitely need to be both editable, pity that can cant be done
Allow users to pull the ‘Pen’ tab out to so it can live separately to the other Tool and paint setting tabs
Indeed it’s on my list to have dockable windows.
Thanks
Move the gradient manger functionality into the gradient drop down
But this would mean that you can’t quickly select another gradient. The drop down closes if you select a gradient which is what it was meant to be the main function of it. Do you quickly want to edit the current gradient? This is currently missing. You need to go via Gradient manager. Would an edit icon make sense?
- It doesnt need to be buried - once you select a gradient it still close, but all remove + edit button next to each gradient .
Allow users to input any number into the pressure / brush scale boxes. Currently limits me to 900px and would love top make this bigger
Input fields typically have limits. It does not make sense and would lead to technical errors if you could enter arbitrary values. Please define the useful limits you would like to see.
OK, it an edge case but would love to go larger than 900 for brush scale (1600?)
Brush scale % seems to affect brush tip size. Would recommend one setting for both (just percentage)
It’s scaling custom brushes only. Separating these functions will let you (e.g.) use custom brushes without scaling (pick, place) while drawing with a brush tip (round) using pressure.
Not in my experience, brush scale % also scale standard pixel brushes
The palette could be radically simplified by letting user cut and paste colors.
You can use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V top copy and paste. Indeed I could add Ctrl + X as well, but the question would be in that case what to do: cut and move the other colors or cut and make the source black? Maybe two shortcuts make sense?
Yes cut = source black (moving), copy = source copied (copying)
A color selected by the color picker should be the selected color that you can modify
This is the case. The currently active first color is the one that you edit in the color palette window. Maybe you mean something else than tah?
Not in my experience, white outline color can be changed using the color sliders, white traingle in corner is the picked color
Let users right click on selected range of colors to use the functions (instead using the functions button)
Just disable this option:
Either the edit area selects colors (including RMB) or it does not so that RMB opens context menu.
Nice
The UI and icons could all be so much simpler and cleaner (happy to help if you want some direction)
Well, it’s subject to the pixel artist who made all the icons, but you can create your own set, just see the image files like “icons…png” in the application folder. I’ll gladly add your set for users to choose from.
Nice
Temporary eraser shortcut (very common use case and found in most other tools)
Currently there is no eraser tool. It’s on my list an maybe I will add it in near future. Currently, erasing is only a paint mode. It’s shortcut is F3 and you can toggle between you current paint mode and Erase paint mode.
Maybe this helps a bit for now.
Looking forward to this
Follow cursor option for brush (brush shape rotates along your trajectory much like a IRL brush)
Interesting feature. Indeed, something like that was mentioned before and is somewhere on my list.
Nice, that would be so cool
If you have Brush scale selected ‘paint single color’ does not work as expected
Can you explain in more detail?
if this is selected, it ignores ‘paint single color’ and uses the default brush color. I also noticed that if ‘color cycling’ is selected the fist color is always the default brush color when ‘Brush scale %’ is on. Here’s a screenshot of the bug (default brush color is black, color cycling rage is white to gray
Saved brushes stop showing the correct thumbnail after you move colors around in the palette
This is because the brushes have their own copy of the color palette from the time they where grabbed. Maybe it would make sense to add a remap colors function to the brush container.
Thanks, that would be great
At least there are no plans for paid upgrades since V7.
