Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------
Drawing-related
---------------
Why can't you have different sized erasers, or use the brush shapes?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The eraser is meant for quickly erasing large parts of the picture.
You'll notice it simply turns parts of the picture white. You can
get the result you want (different sizes and/or shapes) by simply using
the "Brush" tool and the white paint color! :^)
The Magic "Fill" Tool Looks Bad
-------------------------------
Tux Paint is probably comparing exact pixel colors when filling.
