The banner you link to was made in Adobe Flash, a professional animation tool. Paint.NET was not made with animation in mind, Flash however, is. Adobe Flash is included in the Adobe Web premium suite, which costs some 1700$ (according to Adobe). However, some forum members were able to get for way less due tobeing in college or buying an older version.

There is no way to do such a thing if you want to keep it on the same resolution. However, you can resize the image so that the "pixelized" blocks back to the size of 1 pixel. For example, if you have a 500x500px image, and you applied the pixalize effect with both sliders on 10, you can make the image 10x smaller (50x50) and have a "normal" quality picture. It will, of course, be smaller.

Even though encryption takes place, people can still type in your password. Encryption only protects the password from being stolen from the database and used directly. If I were to retreive your password from the database - Let's say the password is "dog" - I'd get "e49512524f47b4138d850c9d9d85972927281da0". However, hackers only need to try to crack the sha-1 with a Rainbow Table, and it'll be hacked. Considering "dog" is only three letters, it'll take less then an hour to crack. I cannot say why this has been implemented, but I didn't experience it. I guess it's to stimulate people to get more difficult passwords, that are harder to guess, considering about half of the MySpace passwords are a normal word of 7 letters with a 1 behind it.

Security fixes, perhaps? I went from Vista to XP SP3.

I really loved that title! Thanks to everyone who voted for me! And ofcourse, don't forget to congratulate the runner-up, LJXD

I don't know anyone who does that personally... I myself always try to vote the guy with the least votes already if I can't decide. Also, if the contest holder is gone for any reason, at least the results are known...

Okay, so here is my entry. Let;s overview the lot first. And here are the full detail shots. Empty Screen Addresses Number dialing Menu. Details: Windhoos is Dutch for a huge amount of wind all in one time coming towards you. The weather kind of wind. Not the one you are thinking about. All the names in the addressbook are related to Winnie the Pooh, but in Dutch. For example, Christopher Robinson = Janneman Robinson. Only one stock, used for the overview/ad: http://www.photokina-show.com/0508/htc/cameraphone/htc-touch-smartphone-review/

We should have started voting a few days ago...

Your thread title seems somewhat generic, please read Rule 6 of the forum rules, and change the title accordingly to prevent having this thread locked. For your question, there are a few reasons: 1: Forumer won't allow you to acces their server to hack the PHPBB forum stuff. 2: It'd take centuries to code. (That's programmer talk for weeks.) 3: PDN files aren't the smallest sort, and we want to keep the people with low bandwidth to go on here without having to plough through 200mb of pictures. On top of that, for transparency, you can always use 32bit PNGs.

I've gotta admit that he a has a point there... the color wheel is quite enormous, and I for one never use it. I mostly select a color from my pallet and adjust it from there. If multicolor gradients are built in, I think a system like the Photoshop alternative is apporpiate, but not as huge. More like the alpha bar (or the RGB/HSV ones) about 2-3 times as long.

If you are going to natively implement brushes, to select the brush you want to start with. I don't know if this has been mentioned, but perhaps also a default prim/sec colour picker.

I just tried the old feather in 3.36. It does some freaky stuff, but I love the effect! Perhaps you could make it into a separate plug in... Outline lines?

Yes, Paint.NET can be used to make/edit the image of the map. Paint.NET will not make the code for for you, however. What I would recommend is getting the Adobe/Macromedia Flash CS3 demo, and make the map there, as it's much simpler to do since you've got 50 states to work with, which is a large amount, and not very doable on your level of web development.

Remember to use a descriptive topic title -as stated in the rules- to make sure your topic won't get locked.

Voila! Il y a mon desin! Yes, I speak French. Poorly. Now, please discuss.
