| interesting point.. I have no more problem with meat than living sprouts as food BUT this morning I was laying in bed fantasizing about a Tux Stamp Management Utility that would allow me to manage what stamps are available to my kids... I have a problem with the hypodermic and the weaponry. It would also be very neat to turn the Kids Tux images or even digital photos of the kids themselves or their toys into stamps or backgrounds. radio buttons to apply mirror and flip and apply color palette as desired something for image scale control maybe Beyond that I have a jones for some silhouette stamps and front and back stamps for things like cars not just side elevations even and isometric angle stamp... Speaking of which I am SO pleases with the new isometric stamp set... except that each stamp is more of a perspective image than a true isometric I am somewhat picky here because I am a K-5 Art Teacher and I use Tux almost exclusively ... my art room is a computer lab (very OLD computers).. other than crayons and paper when a workstation is unavailable Last and not connected with stamps the thought of a stamp manager led to thoughts of a brush manager and a small prayer that a cut and paste function might appear in the firmament so I don't have to have the kids open their file in Microsoft Paint and then try and remember the proper PNG configuration in Irfanview for tux to find the Pic again after the modification. So thanks for the reminder to mention this. Guy --- On Wed, 4/22/09, Stephane Ascoet <Stephane.Ascoet@...> wrote:

| On Paint Shop I can install and uninstall 'picture tubes' On the Gimp Brushes are usually easy... AT HOME I can easily manage my stamps and create collections the way i want them... BUT AT SCHOOL its a different matter... After The TECH installs Tux I'm locked out of the entire C:/ directory and I'm such with what is there Come next August I'll have a different stamps package available for my Tech to install for the year.. Most softwhere is modifiable and TUX is modifiable if you are willing to dig a little into your computer file system.... BUT TUX is also essentially configured for people who often do not want (and who often adults do not want) to be messing around in the Program Files directory. I can understand that. Tux has established a Configuration Utility approach as a user interface and It would make sense to continue with that metaphor For those for whom a computer program is a locked box its not so unlike the case with restaurants... If you keep kosher go to kosher restaurants If you don't go anywhere you want...but it's good to know what if anything you are allergic to. OR "If something in the program offends you find another program" But where possible children's software CAN and probably should be more configurable by users with different needs... more than one country's currency can be found in Tux Stamps. I signed up for this list hoping that there would be lots of people posting links to their newest cool stamps for Tux so I could customize my collection... and maybe eezy guidlines for stamp preparation. I also used to have more access to files in the school computers... For the time being I am frustratingly locked up... but no big deal. I do not see the need to make plain Vanilla plainer so much as a need for a way to choose Cherry and Licorice but not Grapefruit like other folks (with skills and access) can. Its about accessability. --- On Wed, 4/22/09, Davo Smith <tuxpaint@...> wrote: Hmm... I'd have thought that could easily get very silly - would you |
| my point on the hypo is that we all have our different perspectives You did not know that diabetes hypos were military gear? Hi grade weapons ideal for spearing stabbing launching making blood squirt everywhere... lucky you VBG School policy rather frowns on scenes involving bloodbaths or drug use. I work in a title one 'inner city' type school and drugs and violence are already very present. I have yet to see any of the medical gear or personnel used in any healing context. Be that as it may I appreciate its presence and availability... I very much like the idea of various "stamp packs" Ya know, it would be easy to spin off a TuxPaint for Collegiates or TuxPaint for Small Business pack on that basis Swap out a few stamps and brushes maybe a skin job (new color) and there you go. Its my favorite paint program by far because its all there up front. It doesn't have everything but what it has makes up for that so far as immediate art making goes. --- On Wed, 4/22/09, Bill Kendrick <nbs@...> wrote:

| You might not believe whats possible ;-) On the other hand You get the sun as a pendant on a necklace and a pair of earrings or as illuminated windows in an office building. The moon as a planter or bowl of flowers or half the moon as a basin of water. haven't seen an Umbrella moon yet...but it's pretty dry here too. My 4th and 5th graders have almost got the trick of using MS Paint to build a gradient to import as a background into Tux.... great skies and underseas! I love the little spray blob paint brush btw A big blue dot, a medium black dot centered on that, and a white spray blob a little off center produce the perfect shiny eye. Smudge makes fur -- teddy bears for everyone! Great prog, Bill! Thanks Guy --- On Wed, 4/22/09, Bill Kendrick <nbs@...> wrote:
