Thanks for the interest, everyone. Seems like this isn't too specific
after all


Great concept. It looks very usable. Too bad we're forced to either use Hildon, or go the Canola way and create an application specific gui.
I hadn't thought about Hildon too much. It shouldn't need to run in
windowed mode and the dialogs are largely custom, because of size
and such. I generally dislike custom approaches in linux (and windows)
apps, but in this case I would suggest to go down the same road
as Canola and leave hildon out of the equation.

I would guess you're familiar with the Wacom Cintiq products?
Not with the particular brand, I've heard of and briefly tested a similar
LCD but as I hinted, I'm just doing this as a sideshow. Most of the
time I try to not fail college tests

Great concept... Maybe mtpaint is a good candidate for the task since it is fast and already supports alpha and pressure sensitivity?
Oh boy, I hadn't seen the latest progress of it. Certainly looks much
better than what I have on my tablet now. Thanks for the heads-up,
I'll take it for a spin tonight
