Rick Brewster Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This update adds a new Dark Theme, significantly improves High DPI support, adds Explorer thumbnails for TGA and DDS image types, and also includes a whole lot of small improvements and bug fixes. If you’re using the Windows Store release, you should get the update automatically within the next day or so. For the Classic release, you can use the built-in updater by going to ⚙ Settings → Updates → Check Now. You can also download it directly from the website. Changes: New: Dark Theme support New: .NET Framework 4.7 is now required, and will be automatically installed if needed New: Explorer thumbnails are now supported for TGA and DDS file types Fixed and Improved: High-DPI support throughout the application Fixed: Color Picker tool was not always honoring the "Switch to previous tool" setting Fixed the arrow keys not working properly until the second shape (or line/curve) was drawn. Reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112145-moving-points-in-lines-not-working-how-its-supposed-to/ Fixed the zoom slider being "wiggly" while being dragged around Fixed a glitch with the mouse cursor (resize handle) at the lower-left corner of the main window Fixed a crash in the Shape tool renderer (BadNumberException via ID2D1Geometry::GetWidenedBounds) Fixed a hang in the Frosted Glass effect that was reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112005-frosted-glass-hangs-indefinitely-on-a-1×1-pixel-image/ Fixed a hang in the Levels adjustment that was reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/111629-hang-bug-in-a-levels-tool/ Fixed a rendering issue in the Move Selected Pixels tool that was reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112187-selections-out-of-bounds-use-the-out-of-bounds-pixels-when-resizing/ Fixed: Canvas now processes WM_MOUSEHWHEEL, which was preventing some horizontal mouse wheels and trackpad swipe gestures from working properly Fixed: Plugins will no longer completely crash the app on Windows 10 S (note, however, that plugins other than custom Shapes do not work on Windows 10 S) Fixed: a data loss bug when saving very large images (greater than 4GB).

AndrewDavid Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Interesting sequence of events after installing the new update @Rick Brewster Keeping Paint.Net up to date helps to keep WIn10 up to date. Installation triggered the completion of an update Microsoft Security Center was reporting being done on the 5th of Jan. Upon reboot after the installation of Paint.Net 4.20, it triggered the actual installation of Microsoft's latest update. Probably nothing - Just worthy of note. I found it interesting. When I selected reboot it said nothing about doing an update. The most up to date PC on the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRON67 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Can't reproduce the bug here. I even can't remember the described bug anytime before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 In order to move the control points on the line, you'll have to hold the mouse button down and then use the arrow keys. You can't just move the mouse cursor over to the control point.

AndrewDavid Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) When applied while the plugin is running no change to the canvas can be seen Once the clouds are rendered - changing the blend mode of the layer provides the correct blend mode effect Click on thumbnail for larger pic. Color of layer does not change when negation is selected while in Clouds. It does change color by changing layer blend mode after hitting OK in Clouds. This is what I am seeing.

quixoteQ Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm experiencing a bug when coping a layer from one image into another: I open a primary paint file and create a second, empty layer. I open a secondary file, an image with larger dimensions than the primary. I copy a layer from the secondary file. I paste this layer into the empty layer of the primary file. When the interface asks whether I want to expand the canvas, I select "keep canvas size." When I attempt to manually resize the newly copied layer, I find that it has already been cut according to the dimensions of the original image file, as if I had already "Finished Selection." Thanks again for a great product, much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishi Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks again Rick for the update. Loving the new dark theme. It seems to emphasize the iconography of the UI better. I dunno if the others have noticed it but it seems to load the images faster here on my low-spec machine and Paint.NET seems to close faster now too.

HCGS Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I'm having some small issues on windows 10. Only the top of the panel outlines is showing. Also, their close buttons seems to unaligned and too close to the right border. Also the "Tools" title text doesn't even fit in the window, and only shows "To...". Also, I really think that the dark theme needs many improvements. Mainly, the reduction of the extreme contrast everything has, which is really, really weird. Like the contrast between the fully white window borders and the dark insides. The combo boxes share the exact same problem. Also, all the bright blue parts (like the selected layer, tool or the "Hardness" sliders) only look good on a white or really light background. I would also suggest to make the icons monochromatic. The image below is how it currently looks, and the second one is how I suggest it should look: Or maybe, we could have a more radical change; for example, a complete overhaul of the interface, or at least all of the icons. Currently, it has the classic windows 7 style; something that is long outdated. Maybe we could have a more modern UI scheme, like the current Metro style, used by Windows 10 and most of Microsoft's products. I love Paint.NET, and I'm glad that we still get updates. It's good to see that it's not an abandoned project! Although, I do think that it may be time for some bigger changes to it. Let's modernize PDN! More tools! More effects! More features!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 You need to customize the title bar color: On 12/18/2017 at 10:54 AM, Rick Brewster said: One thing to note about the Dark Theme on Windows 10 is that you also have to configure the title bar "accent colors" to get the full effect. Otherwise the title bar will still be a blindingly bright white. 1) Enable Dark Theme in the Windows 10 "Colors" Settings 2) Enable "Show accent color on the following surface" -> "Title bars" 3) Under "Windows colors", choose a dark grey color. I personally like "Gray dark". 3 hours ago, HCGS said: Also the "Tools" title text doesn't even fit in the window, and only shows "To...".
