Enable the "low quality" color selector and you're all set. :-) Imagine that, with the colors as ellipses, on a background with a woodgrain pattern.

Don't bother just now. I'm partway through fixing the tinter. I have the most CPU-intensive part done already, and it's not even noticable on a 450 MHz Mac with 100 MHz memory bus. (that is, a SLOW machine by modern standards) So, yes you can afford to do full colorspace conversion with a sin(), a cos(), a sqrt(), an atan2(), and 8 calls to pow(). Well, it surprised me anyway. Math is shockingly cheap IMHO. If this works out, colors like 50,0,50 and 255,0,255 will look very different when tinted. There won't be a need to avoid having a proper purple. _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
