In Paint99: For sharpest text, it should be rendering with no anti-aliasing, but won't process until the text is confirmed from text editor. Visibility is problematic with bitmap rendering, so I'll look at alternatives. As for the FX button, that's currently unused, but I think it'll serve as a macro for FX since it seems a little superfluous otherwise.

Ok: addressed most of your suggestions! The AA font thing was very difficult to figure out, and I'm not 100% happy with the solution, but it's there. The only implementation I didn't get to were palette import/exports. I'm currently in the process of that, with a 16x16 stamp editor (palette->stamp). It might be a moment. Always down for more suggestions as well :)

You're quick! I tried the AA font. I see why you labelleld it sharp, sharpest, since it doesn't totally remove the AA but reduces it - which is an improvement! I wonder if the way to do it is to do some kind of thresholding so only the black pixels are left over? Not perfect but could work. I think Aseprite or Libresprite has some open source code where you could probably see how they do it.

Is there supposed to be options in "Effects"? Because I don't see any. Are they coming later?

Thank you so much! I really love your whole website, and your pixel artwork is just amazing. Thanks for following back! Looking forward to seeing your updates!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll do what I can! I didnt realize the 1px grid wasn't working on that build. Hopefully I can have a build out by the end of the week with all the changes :))

Thanks! What happens with the 1px grid is that you can't seem to select it so it doesn't switch, but I can select every other option for the grid and toggle them on and off with the checkbox.
I think I'm in love... with this website. MIDI player... FX features in Paint... wonderful.

Thank you! There is so much to do, and a big update coming once some serious bugs can be fixed. I was hoping the updates for Paint99 would cater to pixel artists. Do you have any big requests for a feature or two?

One thing that would help a ton is making sure the 1px grid works, at the moment I can't click on it for some reason. (Also maybe it should be pixel units rather than point units (pt), but if this is how windows used to call pixels I don't mind). Another useful thing could be the ability to save a colour palette as well as export and import it (the open GPL format that GIMP and Inkscape uses might be simple enough).

Some other ideas: the ability to zoom around on the bitmap view (or stop it from immediately closing, so you can look at it), ability to Save As a GIF or PNG format. A more complicated request is removing anti aliasing from the fonts, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about doing that but I know Aseprite and Clip Studio Paint have toggle settings for it.
thanks for following! your custom pixel assets are pretty cool

Thank you! I use git already but the piece I was missing was how to integrate it with neocities. Sometimes I only need to upload a robots.txt or changes to the splash page since I keep only a redirect splash page rather than my whole site, so it looks like I can make a script to just upload those few files to neocities when I make updates . thank you again!
