When using Paint.net each time you manipulate the image, a dialog box (?) or prompt appears asking whether or not to proceed. This is fine, but it would really be nice if the prompt could appear elsewhere on the screen rather than the center smack dab on top of the image being altered. Is it possible to alter a program default and make prompts open say in one of the corners rather than right in the middle of the program? If it is, being able to do this would be a godsend for smaller images, which are frequently entirely covered up by the prompt. In a couple hours of image design, I can literally have to move the "prompt" out of the way well over a 100 times. Now I know that this is the way prompts/dialog boxes appear in all windows programs, but when doing graphic design, the repeated need to move them in short periods of time makes it far more annoying and tedious than in other types of software. Of course, I'm asking, because I'm hoping that it isn't a fixed unalterable setting that is part of the Windows OS. The screenshot I included is an example of the issue. In case what I wrote isn't clear for some.

With software like garage band, popular with some Mac users, people with little or no musical writing ability can slice and dice, mix and match bits of pre-recording music to create something new and entirely different from the original. Being a person who writes music, I appreciate the "creative" ability behind the skill of taking one thing and transforming, transmuting it into something entirely new and different, even if the person who does didn't really play or write anything per se. It made me wonder if the concept was transferable to computer art, and it seems so. I start by taking whatever image of anything really, usually some bland astronomical photo - slicing off a piece of it, and then just going to town on it using the various effects available in paint.net. I do not use any other programs to do this. Just like the garageband type production, I see this as fun, pop art - purely designed to dazzle and please the eyes with intense colors, contrasting colors blended together to create a very intense colorful abstract. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/jonathanseer/eyes.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/jonathanseer/protostars3.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/jonathanseer/11.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/jonathanseer/21.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e38/j ... eer/23.jpg
