NEOCITIES CACHES HARD APPARENTLY. CLEAR YOUR CACHE FOR UPDATE (it's mostly Paint99, and a new screensaver).

Or a hard refresh probably works just fine too! I dont want anyone to lose their icon placements :]

But if Paint99 isn't showing multiple-brush presets, its not updating!

I noticed you added the mtpaint patterns - they look good! I noticed it makes an "error" sound each time I toggle between palettes though.

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.

Thank you! There will be plenty more. Enjoy :)

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?
