Rick Brewster Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 This release is going pretty smoothly! I just had to fix a few small things that were pointed out in the thread for the alpha release, and get the translations up-to-date. To get this update, make sure you have "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions" enabled in Settings, and then click on the Check Now button. (Unfortunately alpha/beta releases are not currently available for the Microsoft Store version of the app). You can also download and install this build directly: https://www.getpaint.net/files/zip/test/paint.net.4.215.7690.33565.install.zip Changes since 4.2.15 alpha build 7683: Changed: In the Text tool, Ctrl+(Backspace, Delete, Arrow Keys) has been improved to work more like Microsoft Word. Thanks to @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth for the patch! Fixed: The sliders for color gradients (e.g. Colors form, some plugins) are now properly visible for the Light and Blue themes. Reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/117660-paintnet-4215-alpha-build-7683/?do=findComment&comment=579778 Fixed: Some old plugins by Ed Harvey were not working.

toe_head2001 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The ColorWheel Sliders are upside down in IndirectUI. Well, the track markers are correct, but the backgrounds are upside down. 2 (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Ladybug Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 @Rick Brewsterthank you for all the work you put into PDN. I know its a small improvement compared to other more complex coding you have done but I am really liking that shapes stay put in the same order. 1 Click HERE to see my Pictorium of images I have worked on.

I failed to notice that they are also upside down in the alpha release. Upgrading to the beta...

Rick was asking for the Windows DPI setting of your display / monitor.

Is your Windows install in English? Have you customized the standard Windows font? Or, changed the size to make it bigger?

ardneh Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Yes. The font size was set to 135%. At 100% everything fits. I don't recall the font setting at 135% being a problem with paint.net 4.2.14. Will reinstall 4.2.14 and check. ========================= With paint.net 4.2.14 reinstalled the clipping is there. Surprised I hadn't noticed it. I can live with the clipping better than the tiny letters and numbers. Edited January 22, 2021 by ardneh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Setting the font size isn't well supported. I recommend setting the DPI (scaling) instead.
