No.

I mean one that's more eyedropper friendly and laid out like the MSPaint default palette. You know something horizontal that is nothing but colors.

posticon Full-automatic replication


OK its been a while but here is my tip of the week for MS Paint. emoticon

Did you know you can paste multiple objects of the same kind without all the Copy/Paste commands in the Edit menu, or constantly hitting CTRL+V on the keyboard?

When you select something in paint using the select tool, hold the CTRL key and drag it away. You will note your original is still under your selection and you now have a copy to drop in a new location. Drop your copy where you need it, then hit the CTRL key again, and drag your selection again, and you now have a third selection to paste in a third area. Etc. Etc. This is very helpful when installing multiple parts of the same shape in a ship like fuel cells, storage tanks, or cargo crates. It saves keystrokes and tons of time.

The biggest bonus is the MS paint program does not use the Copy buffer to make these copied selections, so if you have something else selected from a previous Copy command, it will still be there when you select Paste from the Edit menu or hit CTRL+V. Its like being able to juggle 2 copied items instead of one. Now go have some fun.

Questions?
