  1. Sometimes it can be hard to see the image with defaulft alpha grid colours...

     

    My suggestion is to add an "Manage alpha grid color" button on the "Colors" window [pdna01.png]

     

    It allows you to quickly select one of 3 patterns - "White grid" (currently used), "Dark grid" (original pattern with dark colours used) and "Plain gray" (both light and dark grid parts have the same gray colour so alpha channel shows just as plain gray colour) [pdna02.png]

     

    - or use your own - just enter hex colours of dark and light grid parts in a window and press "OK". [pdna03.png]

  2. A very simple yet useful tweak (especially for pixel artists).

    Can be turned on/off near the zoom scale or by the Ctrl-Shift-+ keyboard shortcut.

     

     

    When enabled, all the pictures will have the same zoom percent and offset:

    unfortunately pdn forums requires pictures to have VERY small size (256kb for attached files IN TOTAL? really?), so here's imgbb links:

    You also need to install Paint.NET v4.2.15; we don't offer support for old versions.

     

    And it appears you're using custom theming (WindowBlinds or the like) on Windows 10; that can also some issues with Paint.NET.

     

    OK, I updated my PDN to 4.2.15 (it seems it was released a few minutes after my post), but the bug is still there

     

    It's official theme called "Aero Lite". It doesn't affects PDN since I remember I also had this bug when I was using default theme.

    My Firefox is up-to-date, v.85. I don't know where to get v.87.

     

    I downloaded the image and pasted it in Paint and PDN. I resized by 300% at default settings for clarity, placed a black background in the PDN copy for comparison. See the results below.

    I cannot see any drop in quality. If you can, feel free to repeat the same, only this time resize in PDN using "nearest neighbour".

    TBH, I cannot see any drop in quality even in the images posted by the OP.

     

    PS.: For anyone wanting to try, the correct link for the image is this

    Yes, for some reason these 2 pictures are the same. Link without additional symbols copies only compressed version, but if you open it through this link

    https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/File:Launcher_Alex_Texture.png

    (left click on the preview to open the puciture), it will be bugged

     

    The bug is also presented on Firefox 85, so it's probably related to the way Firefox copies pictures (Microsoft Edge copies the picture without any bugs)

     

  5. This is a very odd bug - some .png files get .jpg-like compression (and sometimes drop transparency) while copied and pasted to PaintDotNet

     

    Example: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/minecraft_gamepedia/images/0/0c/Launcher_Alex_Texture.png/revision/latest?cb=20200819175304

     

    Here's this picture copied and pasted from Mozilla Firefox 87 on Windows 10 (20H2) to Paint and PaintDotNet:

    y.thumb.png.0dda933e1cd63a2bd0ce1526056843c9.png

    As you can see, picture looks good in Paint (it has black background since Paint doesn't support transparency), but gets oddly compressed in PaintDotNet

  6. In the latest PDN update were changed old cool skeuomorphic icons to the new flat, and... they're looking ugly (this is my opinion, I do not want to offend anyone), so how can I bring old icons back (without coming back on older versions, of course)? And if I can't restore them now, will be something like old-new icons switcher in the 4.1.6 (or, at least, 4.2) release?

  7. The PaintDotNet on my PC is started crashing, and I removed that by deleting its folder, but it's not gone after that (from "Programs and Components" menu)

     

    When I trying to uninstall PDN, appears this (pic. 1, a) error.
    The "Restore" button isn't so helpful too (pic. 1, b)

     

    Install a new copy if PaintDotNet is impossible too: installator just crashes (pic. 2, a)

    I tried to install that from the %temp%/PdnInstall folder, but it's crasher too with new strange error (pic. 2, b)

     

    Also, I tried to remove PaintDotNet using Bulk bloody potato Uninstaller, but it's failed too

     

    So, how I can remove PDN from my PC (without reinstalling Windows)?
