Well it's a special occasion, so I'll post my newest deviation:

Go for PNG! That's all I have to say!

I wouldn't think it's a fractal. It's probably a looping Flash-like animation. Though it may be possible to recreate as a fractal...

Oh yeah, I just remembered that it was around that time when PC World ranked PDN as the (I think) 9th best product of the year.

I've been having the same problem, but I've been too lazy to do anything about it. No use trying to uninstall it because it needs that MSI file to remove the program. I think it's more of a registry problem than a file (msi) problem. Oh, and for all others who are wondering I'm still able to update Paint.NET, but it's a 10 minute process not worth explaining (it involves Virtual PC 2007).

Looking at the roadmap, the huge spike was caused by the release of 3.08.

Yes! Finally someone that thinks just like me! Hats of to you, Leif! EDIT: You to, LiquidCore! EDIT2: If I'm correct, PHPbb2 already does that. I've seen Rick do it before (ironically, it was caused by posts in the Pictorium).

I know what I/Rick/somebody can do! Create a logo for the PDN search engin! It'll be almost the same as the Paint.NET logo, but with a magnifying glass instead of a brush. I'm not sure how, but I know there's a way to integrate it with the current forum banner.

Well that sucks for me. Now I can't see my avatar! To make this post on topic, should I add some sort of cool effect to the image (with a lot of alpha channels)?

You'll need to get permission from every one of the plugin authors. Another user did this same thing a day or two ago. http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=6620 (read my post)

@PB: Not exactly what I was thinking... This is my idea: ^A 7kb GIF with an announcement that's hard to miss and no annoying alpha channels. ^In PNG format EDIT: Why am I not seeing my uploaded pictures?

I'm crazy and everyone knows it (though still not comparable to Dan). My idea is to create a banner with the normal logo currently in use, then to the right, some text that displays something like the latest version of Paint.NET, important news relating to Paint.NET, or what my origional thought was, something that says "New! Check out the official Paint.NET Search engine at searchpaint.net!". I'd also like to see it in a png format. If not, then remove the transparency from the current banner because it looks atrocious in a black background.

@jerkfight: I like the first one the most. It looks more realistic than the others. If I were to choose a least favorite, I'd say the last one because it just looks like blurred and distorted bars.

I'd rather have it where you have no limits. You can do anything weather it'll be just a few changes here and there, or what I plan on doing-- a complete overhaul of the UI.

Quoted to immortalize the typo Anyway, I would much rather submit my artwork on dA because more people look at it and you'll get some actual criticism as well as a couple of "wow" comments from people that don't know it was done. And for me, it's a great place for posting OS customization files (wallpapers, cursor packs, etc.) because they actually get recognition (and you get to spread the word about Paint.NET). At this point, I think I've almost completely stopped posting my artwork in the Pictorium and starting uploading them to dA.

Just be happy that Microsoft allows download of their font pack (linked to in my post). Also, try to use the scroll bar and not the mouse wheel to scroll through the fonts. You'll get to the font you want in less time and less pain to your CPU.

I really don't think we need a new forum for it. Especially after seeing the new Forum Rules forum going up-- it'll make the index page too big for my liking. It also negates what the purpose of this forum is, which is a help and support forum and not a gallery. I'd rather stick with dA because there are over 3,000 users online at any given moment and it also has a better interface that's made for image and media display. And as it has been said, there's always the PDN Fans forum.

According to Rick, the origional brush in the logo is over 800 pixels tall and took about 20 layers to make in a 15MB .pdn file*. *Okay, I made the 15MB part up, though it's a realistic estimation :wink:

Let's see... You should try extracting the installer to the desktop if you haven't already. I'm not sure if the installation would work right from the zip. Also make sure you have the .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0 installed. If it still doesn't work, read this thread: PROBLEMS WITH INSTALL UPDATE OR UNINSTALL? READ THIS. Also, you should redefine what you call flaming. I don't see anything rude about what they were saying. After all, they're here to help you, not announce that your an idiot (of which you are not) as you may be thinking.

Trust me, folder icons take a long time to make, and if you're able to make one in under an hour, it won't look very pretty. Then the window borders and MS theme... it hurts just thinking about it (I've tried). As for the logon screen, that won't be much of a problem. The sky's the limit for the Google homepage. I've seen some and they look terrific! Nice background images, new logo, better layout, and more seamless look. Too bad I can't find that page anymore

I made a poll about this a few months ago and was requested by other users several times after it*. I think the poll results were 65% for and 35% against. Rick voted against, so nothing came of it. *As it says in the Bible, seek and you shall find.

*raises hand* I second that!

Your "Effect folder" is already installed into Paint.NET. From My Computer, go to "C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects" and place you plugin files there.

So did you actually delete them or did you copy your fonts to another folder? I think you should at least have the main fonts that come with MS-- Times New Roman, Segoe, Calibri, Tachoma, Trebuchet, and the like. For the record, you can get all those again if you install this (the Consolas font pack). Also, Rick, can you make it so that the font previews are placed in some cache in the Paint.NET Application Data folder? That way, all that needs to be loaded are new fonts.
