thanks for the rant. I hate to post a 'me too' comment but this deserves acknowledgement. Working around these issues can take a lot of time-energy and *I* personally apologize for not doing a better job to help get issues fixed upstream.

This is a learning process for me, certainly, being a productive part of a community and not just a tinkering leech.

I'm sorry, i don't know the workaround btw but keep working on mypaint folks. With better brushes and some arm optimization we could have a real genius app.

The main thing i want to advocate for mypaint is a less modal UI *option*.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to be able to select colors, brushes, intensities/alpha or other parameters without interrupting workflow or stepping through python stuff. This means - imo - adding some form of elegant overlaid control elements - not sure about best design.

A great project awaits here...

[edit] N810 has lots of buttons, so i mapped some. Consider doing this also.
