Rick Brewster Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well there's a few [very] small features left to go for the 3.0 release, and the beta should be out within a week or so. Please note that with the beta release v3.0 is considered "feature complete." This means there will be no more added features. The remaining time until the February release will be spent on bug fixing, stabilization, and something else I'm hoping to announce soon enough. * Edit -> Fill Selection. Every once in awhile, while using Paint.NET, I get the sudden urge to need a feature like this. I've selected an area and I want to fill it without having to, 1) switch to paint bucket, 2) set tolerance to 100%, 3) shift+click. Now I can just hit backspace. * Hotkey adjustment of brush size. Everyone's always asking me for this and it make sense to add it. Now you can click the + or - in the toolbar or use [ and ], or Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] to go in steps of 5. * And ok you guys strong-armed me. Right-click on the color swatch will set the secondary color. But only in the swatch, not the color wheel.

mickiscoole Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 and something else I'm hoping to announce soon enough. Now lets have an indepth look at that comment, shall we? As Beta 1 will be feature locked, this "something else" can't actually be related to PDN itself, so my prediction is a remodel of the PDN website, or something related to it.

Picc84 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Haha, i was just about to say... um... thats kinda just vista... But that would be awesome if Paint.NET had skins, like Limewire, or Firefox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 No it wouldn't. Skins are the biggest waste of development effort ever.

Kaiser Yoshi Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If you really need alternate skins, patch your uxtheme.dll and download frenzy on themexp.org. If you absolutely need a Vista theme, go to lunaelement.net. I WOULD like to know if Vista's .msstyles file will work on XP, though... be freaking awesome if it did. On-topic, w00tfulicious. Can't wait to see what this new thing is (guess that goes without saying rofl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Looks like Tom was able to sneak in one last effect. There is still the matter of that other thing that I've not announced yet ... so of course, stay tuned Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Looks like Tom was able to sneak in one last effect. Is that the same as this? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Different implementation (not based on his code), and simpler UI. But yes, same idea. This way all PDN users get to have Clouds.

Rick Brewster Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Maybe next release. I have to set a cutoff date at some point -- otherwise this thing would never get done!

And, about the clouds, is it the same basic effect as the other clouds, or are there some differences (other than the UI) Anyway, I'm really looking foward to some of these updates!
