<h4>Mac OS X</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint stores files in your account's
"Libraries" folder, under "Preferences", e.g.:</p>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint stores its data files inside the "Tux&nbsp;Paint"
icon (which is actually a special kind of folder on
Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X). The following steps explain how to get to
the folders within:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bring up a 'context' menu by holding the [Control] key and clicking
the Tux&nbsp;Paint icon the in Finder. (If you have a mouse with more
than one button, you can simply right-click the icon.)</li>
<li>Select "Show&nbsp;Contents" from the menu that appears.
A new Finder window will appear with a folder inside called
"Contents."</li>
<li>Open the "Contents" folder and open the "Resources" folder found
inside.</li>
<li>There, you will find the "starters", "stamps" and "brushes"
folders. Adding new content to these folders will make the content
available to any user that launches this copy (icon) of
Tux&nbsp;Paint.</li>
</ol>
<p><em>Note:</em> If you install a newer version of Tux&nbsp;Paint
(by replacing its icon), you will lose changes made by following
the instructions above, so keep backups of your new content
(stamps, brushes, etc.).</p>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint also looks for files in a "TuxPaint" folder
that you can place in your system's "Application&nbsp;Support" folder
(found under "Library" at the root of your hard disk):</p>
<blockquote><code>
/Users/<i>(user&nbsp;name)</i>/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Application&nbsp;Support/TuxPaint/
</code></blockquote>
<p>It also looks for files in the user's "Preferences" folder,
e.g.:</p>
<blockquote><code>
/Users/<i>(user&nbsp;name)</i>/Library/Preferences/TuxPaint/brushes/
</code></blockquote>
