XnView Software

Draw - tools


Suggestion

• add icon for 'default color' control

• default colors should be black/white, not white/black
  (they should also be preselected when Draw is opened for the 1st time)

• make foreground/background color controls a bit bigger and centered

• make 'swap color' control a little bit nicer
  - same accent color as other tools
  - shape pixelated square or round (like in photoshop)
