Chez K is snotsville at the moment with son boy so full of cold germs that he could be used to power a futuristic green coloured power plant.
Which has given me half an hour to play with on computer and I was delighted to see an update to Pixelmator, now up to 1.5.1
Truth to tell the last update while great, did little for me. The added tools were all web related so offered me nothing I fancied playing with and less I spent time learning. Brushes on the other hand were lovely except for one thing - the brush palette had no scroll bars so if you added a hundred brush configurations (as I did) you'd break the palette and not see the bottom of it. A quick and dirty fix was to swap tools from airbrush to gradient and back which would force the palette to draw itself from the bottom up or the top up, depending on how many times you swapped tools, and now we've got a proper fix - an icon at the bottom of the palette which allows you to fit your brushes into a variety of named folders.
On first glance it's not the best fix - I'm not convinced by it but we'll see... Its always good to play with Pixelmator though so expect a few brush doodles made with it as I test around the way it works.
