Add the word "tintable" to the stamp's data file.
Unalterable Stamps
By default, a stamp can be flipped upside down, shown as a mirror
image, or both. This is done using the control buttons below the
stamp selector, at the lower right side of the screen in
Tux Paint.
Sometimes, it doesn't make sense for a stamp to be flippable or
mirrored; for example, stamps of letters or numbers. Sometimes
stamps are symettrical, so letting the user flip or mirror them
isn't useful.
To make a stamp un-flippable, add the option "noflip" to the
stamp's data file.
To keep a stamp from being mirrored, add the option "nomirror" to
the stamp's data file.
Windows Users
You can use NotePad or WordPad to create these file. Be sure to
save it as Plain Text, and make sure the filename has ".dat" at
the end, and not ".txt"...
Pre-Mirrored Images
In some cases, you may wish to provide a pre-drawn version of a
stamp's mirror-image. For example, imagine a picture of a fire truck
with the words "Fire Department" written across the side. You
probably do not want that text to appear backwards when the image is
flipped!
To create a mirrored version of a stamp that you want Tux Paint to
use, rather than mirroring one on its own, simply create a second
".png" graphics file with the same name, except with the string
"_mirror" before the filename extension.
For example, for the stamp "truck.png" you would create another file
named "truck_mirror.png", which will be used when the stamp is
mirrored (rather than using a backwards version of 'truck.png').
