V1.63 Feb 27, 2008 2:17:17 PM

Advanced painting widget with many tools: pencils, charcoal, paint brushes, calligraphy pen and much more - draw, paint, paste photos, have fun!

VERSION 1.50 SCREENSHOTS

VERSION 1.50-1.64 CHANGELOG

If you will draw a masterpiece, don't worry, you won't lose it - this widget has picture exporting, saving and loading! This widget has also multilanguage support - at this moment 32 languages are included! If you want to help me translate this widget, look here. By the way - this widget checks for updates automatically

Warning: if you have Opera 9.5 and can't use colors it's caused by a bug in the new version of Opera. Images with alpha transparency are not rendered correctly in canvas element (bug #335311). This bug has been reported to Opera and I can't do much more about it, sorry. The only solution for now to paint with colors other than black is to install a copy of Opera 9.27 for this widget.

Nice widget, great to fill in the extra time. One recommendation is a scalable paper size or a full screen mode. This would for one let people make larger drawings, but also the glass mode could make any application usable as something like a powerpoint file where you can draw comments and such on the screen

v 1.63 -- Greek language added

This is awesome. I wonder though if anyone can tell me if it'll run on the Archos 705 personal media player. As an artist I'd love a digital means to sketch Ideas on the go. This media player is wifi, so a bunch of opera widgets are offered for it. It's also a 7 inch touch screen which means a small all in one sketching, music, yada yada yada, device might be possible... if it works. But I can't drop 500 bones to experiment. So if anyone has tried this or knows how to decipher tech specs better than me I would love to know!
Cheers!

Oh my gosh there is the form that I used to draw over again. Spirograph was my old school mechanical drawing tool.
The calligraphy option adds a lot of depth.
>(The adobe acrobat logo was derived from this idea?)

You Should add a "Smooth" effect for when your drawing fast... so that the lines don't show up geometrical.. just a thought.

Great widget. Now if only I could draw...

BlueTemplar, enable "Fast drawing" option, maybe it will help.

It's a shame it's only for powerful computers. I have a Duron 1300 Mhz, and this widget is nearly useless because it only register the position of the mouse something like twice per second. Therefore you have to draw very slowly otherwise you will have broken lines instead of curves.
