Great! Can you make a diff and post it, and I'll update my sources.
I think we have to #ifdef Hildon-specific changes (or what's the best way to do this)... And contact the original author.
I won't have time to look at this until tonight (swedish time). Keep on hacking...
:-)
Thanks Anders

The only code changes (see my prior post) went into.
drawwindow.py

If you want to test these, first back-up
/usr/share/mypaint/python/drawwindow.py
then copy this version over it.

For those with N810s here's a little cheat-sheet for the keyboard controls:



I just made these changes to suit my tastes, really. Feel free to use them if you like them of course!

ok i HAVE to STOP.

Any chance this could be made to work on OS2007?

Beautiful drawing, this program and Numptyphysics have redefined my tablet use over the last few days.

I wonder though what reliance on the keyboard does for N800 use — and I'm expecting my two kids to want to tablet-draw at the same time (it's the nature of siblings, right?).

Maybe a customizable tool palette could be kept on-screen so a single tap performs one of those actions or any other that one really wants — a couple brushes, the opacity dialog, zoom, brush size, etc. Even show the main menu, to enable a consistent "tap" interface.

This isn't a complaint — having MyPaint is so fabulous I'm just anticipating dealing with the family demand.

Me, I'm still tryijng to figure out the difference between Speed1 and Speed2. I hope we can get an expanded How-To soon for the NIT version.
