Can defaults of functions within Paint.net be changed?

[LAPIII]

I'd like to set things like the brush width and color.

http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/Toolbar.html read this down near middle of the page it explains what you can currently set as preferences and where to find the change spot.

along the top under file , edit etc see that paintbrush it says tools clik that the first one is about default preferences. that's where you can chage

welcome to the forum

Were you referring to, Toolbar>Tool Menu>Tool Choice>Choose defaults, because that's all I could find on the web page you suggested?

Indeed oma was. Until sometime around v4.00 of Paint.NET, the Choose Defaults is the only settings dialog to be found.

Default brush width can be set from here, but not the default colour.

note I used the phrase "what you can currently set"

As Myridin says perhaps in later version Rick will be changing and adding more preferences. In fact he did recently have a thread asking which preferences people would like to see. Although I can not recall if the primary color choice was mentioned.
