(Some versions of Puppy have gtklp built-in including Puppy53 Puppy 5.3, skip step 1.) Following these instructions-1. Install gtklp 1b Click on the 'gtklp-1.2.5.pet' package and it will install automatically 2.

And a unique magic tool. The program also features sound effects and a cartoon mascot at the bottom of the screen to guide kids through the application.Let’s install it:$ flatpak install flathub org.tuxpaint.TuxpaintLet’s try it without any artistic expectations: should keep in mind that this program is more of a game than a drawing program in the usual sense.6. DrawpileDrawpile is a unique program that stands out for its collaborative drawing capabilities. We can draw with collaborators on the same canvas over a network, making Drawpile perfect for shared art projects or collaborative drawing sessions. It also includes chat and basic drawing tools for individual use.Let’s install it:$ flatpak install flathub net.drawpile.drawpileWe recorded one user opening a remote session at pub.drawpile.net and another user joining that session to collaborate on the same slide. In the upper left corner of the video, we added the labels “Computer 1” and “Computer 2” to make it clearer how the session progressed: real-time, both collaborators saw the changes on the same canvas. So, when the second user added the map, it appeared to the first user as well.7. mtPaintmtPaint is a lightweight paint program for creating icons, pixel art and manipulating indexed palette images. Thus, mtPaint is designed to create images at the pixel level, resulting in a distinct, often retro-styled, blocky appearance. It’s a technique reminiscent of early computer and video game graphics, where limited resolution and color palettes were the norm.There are no Snap or Flatpak packages for mtPaint, but it’s available in the repositories of major Linux distributions. For example, on Debian-based systems, we can install it with apt:$ sudo apt install mtpaintWe can also use mtPaint to create ASCII art, useful for displaying logos in Bash scripts or other terminal output. Let’s try to recreate the Baeldung logo at pixel level and export it as ASCII text: result is very good. The key was to convert the image from RGB to a two-color index palette before scaling it. mtPaint also allows freehand drawing of icons and logos and the creation of animated GIFs. There is also integration with GIMP.8. GIMPGIMP is a powerful open-source image manipulation program that serves as an excellent Linux alternative to Microsoft Paint and a free counterpart to Adobe Photoshop. Designed for a wide range of users, including photographers, graphic designers, illustrators, and even scientists, it provides tools for high-quality image manipulation, from basic photo retouching to advanced creative compositing.On the other hand, its advanced features can make it seem too complicated for beginners. However, once we become familiar with its operating logic, GIMP can become our indispensable tool for any form of image editing.Let’s install it:$ sudo snap install gimpWe won’t discuss GIMP’s extensive featureDownloading File /mtpaint/3.31/mtpaint-3.31.tar.bz2 - mtPaint

Offline Last seen: 5 years 3 months ago Joined: 2007-02-20 19:26 mtPaint Portable I found this Open-Source GTK paint program, it's actually a pretty good program. It would be cool to work with GTK and stuff, and now with John's common files setup, I could probally work that in. Here's a few links, I'll play around with it a bit more, it's not Paint.NET, but it's still pretty good, let me know if you guys have any reasons why I shouldn't give it a shot. And John, please let me know if you already have, or plan to do this one yourself. Because I know my version will just become pointless if you release a version.Thank you, here are the links.Site - Download from there, too.Wikipedia ArticleFreshmeat PageIt seems like a good choice, as it's a good program, it doesn't use .NET :P, it will help me learn to make GTK apps, it's under the GPL, and development is continuing.But do let me know any reasons why I shouldn't, and let me know if you would want it.Thanks.Downloading File /mtpaint/3.31/mtpaint-3.31-setup.exe - mtPaint
