Tux Paint Config.
A graphical tool is available that allows you to change Tux Paint's
behavior. However, if you'd rather not install and use this tool, or want
a better understanding of the available options, please continue reading.
Configuration File
You can create a simple configuration file for Tux Paint, which it will
read each time you start it up.
The file is simply a plain text file containing the options you want
enabled:
Linux and Unix Users
The file you should create is called ".tuxpaintrc" and it should be placed
in your home directory. (a.k.a. "~/.tuxpaintrc" or "$HOME/.tuxpaintrc")
System-Wide Configuration File
Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
located at:
/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf
macOS Users
The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
placed in your home folder, under the sub-folder: Library/Application
Support/TuxPaint
System-Wide Configuration File
Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
located at:
/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/tuxpaint.cfg
Windows Users
The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
placed in in your personal AppData folder:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\TuxPaint\
You can use NotePad or WordPad to create this file. Be sure to save it as
Plain Text, and make sure the filename doesn't have ".txt" at the end...
System-Wide Configuration File
Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
located at:
C:\Program Files\Tuxpaint
⚙ You can disable reading of this file altogether, leaving the settings as
defaults (which can then be overridden by your personal config. file
and/or command-line arguments) by using the command-line option
"--nosysconfig".
Available Options
The following settings can be set in the configuration file. (Command-line
settings will override these. See the "Command-Line Options" section,
below.)
Video/Sound
Video
fullscreen=yes
Run the program in full screen mode, rather than in a window.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "fullscreen=no".
In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
"--windowed".
fullscreen=native
Run the program in full screen mode. Additionally, assume the
screen's current resolution (set by the operating system).
windowsize=SIZE
Run the program at a different size (in windowed mode) or at a
different screen resolution (in fullscreen mode), rather than the
default (usually 800x600).
The SIZE value should be presented in pixels, in 'width-by-height'
format, with an "x" (lowercase X) between the values. The size can
be anything that's at least 640 wide, and at least 480 tall.
Some examples:
* 640x480
* 1024x768
* 768x1024
* 1600x1200
💡 If only one display is available, and Tux Paint is being run in
windowed (not fullscreen) mode, and the chosen window size exceeds
the capabilities of the display, Tux Paint will fall back to the
display's dimensions.
orient=portrait
Swaps the width/height options given to Tux Paint, useful for
rotating the window on portait displays, such as a tablet PC
that's in tablet orientation.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"orient=landscape". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--orient=landscape".
native=yes
When running Tux Paint in fullscreen mode, this assumes the
screen's current resolution (overriding any "windowsize" option),
as set by the operating system.
allowscreensaver=yes
By default, Tux Paint prevents your system's screensaver from
starting up. You can override this by using the "allowscreensaver"
option. Note: This requires version 1.2.12 or higher of the SDL
library. (You can also do this by setting the
"SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER" environment variable on your system
to "1".)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"allowscreensaver=no" or "disablescreensaver=yes". In both cases,
may be overridden by the command-line option
"--disablescreensaver".
Sound
nosound=yes
Disable sound effects. (Note: Pressing [Alt] + [S] cannot be used
to reenable sounds if they were disabled using this option.)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nosound=no" or
"sound=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--sound".
nostereo=yes
Disable stereo panning support. (Useful for users with hearing
impairment in one ear, or places where a single speaker or
headphone is being used.)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nostereo=no" or
"stereo=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--stereo".
Interface Size
buttonsize=SIZE
Set the pixel size of buttons in Tux Paint's user interface
(overriding the default of "48"). Useful when using very
high-density displays or coarse input devices, such as eye gaze
trackers.
The SIZE value should be presented in pixels, and can be anything
between 24 and 192, inclusive. Most buttons are square, and this
will affect their width and height.
A value of "auto" may be provided, and Tux Paint will choose a
suitable button size based on the size of Tux Paint's window (or
fullscreen display). (For the default screen size of 800x600, it
will be the default button size: "48".)
💡 Note: If the chosen button size would cause the buttons to be
too large for all required UI elements to appear under Tux Paint's
chosen window size, the largest possible button size will be used.
(A note will appear in stderr.)
colorsrows=ROWS
How many rows of color palette buttons to show; useful when using
a large color palette (see "colorfile", above), and/or for use
with coarse input devices (like eyegaze trackers). "ROWS" may be
between "1" (the default) and "3".
Mouse/Keyboard
Cursor
nofancycursors=yes
This disables the fancy mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint, and
uses your environment's normal mouse pointer.
In some enviornments, the fancy cursors cause problems. Use this
option to avoid them.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nofancycursors=no" or "fancycursors=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--fancycursors".
hidecursor=yes
This completely hides the mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint.
This is useful for touchscreen devices, such as tablet PCs.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "hidecursor=no"
or "showcursor=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--showcursor".
Keyboard
noshortcuts=yes
This disable keyboard shortcuts (e.g., [Ctrl]-[S] for save,
[Ctrl]-[N] for a new image, etc.)
This is useful to prevent unwanted commands from being activated
by children who aren't experienced with keyboards.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "noshortcuts=no"
or "shortcuts=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--shortcuts".
Mouse
grab=yes
Tux Paint will attempt to 'grab' the mouse and keyboard, so that
the mouse is confined to Tux Paint's window, and nearly all
keyboard input is passed directly to it.
This is useful to disable operating system actions that could get
the user out of Tux Paint [Alt]-[Tab] window cycling,
[Ctrl]-[Escape], etc. This is especially useful in fullscreen
mode.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "grab=no" or
"dontgrab=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--dontgrab".
nowheelmouse=yes
This disables support for the wheel on mice that have it.
(Normally, the wheel will scroll the selector menu on the right.)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nowheelmouse=no" or "wheelmouse=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--wheelmouse".
nobuttondistinction=yes
Prior to Tux Paint 0.9.15, the middle and right buttons on a mouse
could also be used for clicking. In version 0.9.15, it was changed
so that only the left mouse button worked, so as to not train
children to use the wrong button.
However, for children who have trouble with the mouse, this
distinction between the two or three buttons on a mouse can be
disabled (returning Tux Paint to its old behavior) by using this
option.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nobuttondistinction=no" or "buttondistinction=yes". In both
cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
"--buttondistinction".
Simplification
Interface Simplification
simpleshapes=yes
Disable the rotation step of the 'Shape' tool. Click, drag and
release is all that will be needed to draw a shape.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"simpleshapes=no" or "complexshapes=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--complexshapes".
nooutlines=yes
In this mode, much simpler outlines and 'rubber-band' lines are
displayed when using the Lines, Shapes, Stamps and Eraser tools.
This can help when Tux Paint is run on very slow computers, or
displayed on a remote X-Window display.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nooutlines=no"
or "outlines=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--outlines".
uppercase=yes
All text will be rendered only in uppercase (e.g., "Brush" will be
"BRUSH"). Useful for children who can read, but who have only
learned uppercase letters so far.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "uppercase=no"
or "mixedcase=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--mixedcase".
Initial Stamp Size
stampsize=SIZE
Use this option to force Tux Paint to set the starting size of all
stamps. The SIZE value should be between 0 (smallest) and 10
(largest). The size is relative to the available sizes of the
stamp, which depends on the stamp itself, and Tux Paint's current
canvas size.
Specify "default" to let Tux Paint decide (its standard behavior).
Control Simplification
noquit=yes
Disable the on-screen "Quit" button and prevent the [Escape] key
from quitting Tux Paint.
Using the [Alt] + [F4] keyboard combination or clicking the
window's close button (assuming you're not in fullscreen mode)
still works to quit Tux Paint.
You can also use the following keyboard combination to quit:
[Shift] + [Control] + [Escape].
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "noquit=no" or
"quit=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--quit".
nostamps=yes
This option tells Tux Paint to not load any rubber stamp images,
which in turn ends up disabling the Stamps tool.
This can speed up Tux Paint when it first loads up, and reduce
memory usage while it's running. Of course, no stamps will be
available at all.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nostamps=no" or
"stamps=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--stamps".
nostampcontrols=yes
Some images in the Stamps tool can be mirrored, flipped, and/or
have their size changed. This option disables the controls, and
only provides the basic stamps.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nostampcontrols=no" or "stampcontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--stampcontrols".
nostamprotation=yes
This disables the rotation step of the Stamps tool, immediately
placing the stamp in its regular orientation (with any flipping or
mirroring applied) on the first click.
📜 Note: The stamp rotation feature was added to Tux Paint in
version 0.9.29.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nostamprotation=no" or "stamprotation=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--stamprotation".
nomagiccontrols=yes
Some Magic tools have the option of acting like a paintbrush, or
affecting the entire canvas at once. This option disables the
controls, and only provides the default functionality (usually
paint-mode).
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nomagiccontrols=no" or "magiccontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--magiccontrols".
nomagicsizes=yes
Some Magic tools offer various size settings. This option disables
the sizing control, and only provides the tools' default sizes.
(Some plugins may offer additional variations of a Magic tool, to
make a few sizes possible, e.g. "Bricks" and "Googly Eyes".)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nomagicsizes=no" or "magicsizes=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--magicsizes".
noshapecontrols=yes
Disable the control buttons shown when using the Shapes tool that
allow changing how shapes are drawn — centered around the initial
mouse click, or with a corner at the initial mouse click.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"noshapecontrols=no" or "shapecontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--shapecontrols".
nolabel=yes
Disables the Label tool: the tool that allows text entry which can
be edited later.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nolabel=no" or
"label=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--label".
nobrushspacing=yes
Disables the brush spacing option of the Paint and Lines tools.
The brushes' default spacings will be used.
📜 Note: The brush spacing option was added to Tux Paint's user
interface in version 0.9.28. For more information on brush
spacing, see EXTENDING.html
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nobrushspacing=no" or "brushspacing=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--brushspacing".

--locale LOCALE
Run Tux Paint in one of the support languages. See the "Choosing a
Different Language" section below for the locale strings (e.g.,
"de_DE" for German) to use.
(If your locale is already set, e.g. with the "$LANG" environment
variable, this option is not necessary, since Tux Paint honors
your environment's setting, if possible.)
mirrorstamps=yes
For stamps that can be mirrored, this option sets them to their
mirrored shape by default.
This can be useful for people who prefer things right-to-left,
rather than left-to-right.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"mirrorstamps=no" or "dontmirrorstamps=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--dontmirrorstamps".
Fonts
sysfonts=yes
This option causes Tux Paint to attempt to load fonts (for use in
the Text tool) from your operating system. Normally, Tux Paint
will only load the ones that came bundled with Tux Paint.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "sysfonts=no" or
"nosysfonts=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--nosysfonts".
alllocalefonts=yes
Prior to version 0.9.21, Tux Paint loaded all fonts in its own
fonts directory, including locale-specific ones (e.g., the one for
Tibetan, which had no latin characters). As of 0.9.21, the only
font loaded from the locale-specific subdirectory, if any, is one
matching the locale Tux Paint is running on.
To load all locale-specific fonts (the old behavior), set this
option.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"alllocalefonts=no" or "currentlocalefont=yes". In both cases, may
be overridden by the command-line option "--currentlocalefont".
Printing
Print Permissions
noprint=yes
Disable the printing feature.
printdelay=SECONDS
Restrict printing so that printing can occur only once every
SECONDS seconds.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "printdelay=0".
In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
"--printdelay=0".
Show Printer Dialog
altprint=always
This causes Tux Paint to always show the printer dialog (or, on
Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button is
clicked. In other words, it's like clicking 'Print' while holding
[Alt], except you don't need to hold [Alt] every time.
altprint=never
This prevents Tux Paint from ever showing the printer dialog (or,
on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button
is clicked. In other words, it makes the [Alt] key have no effect
when clicking the 'Print' button.
altprint=mod
This is the normal, default behavior. Tux Paint shows a printer
dialog (or, on Linux/Unix, runs the "altprintcommand"), when the
[Alt] key is pressed while the 'Print' button is clicked. Clicking
'Print' without holding [Alt] prints without showing a dialog.
Save Printer Configuration
printcfg=yes
(Windows and macOS only)
Tux Paint will use a printer configuration file when printing.
Push the [Alt] key while clicking the 'Print' button in Tux
Paint to cause a Windows print dialog window to appear.
Any configuration changes made in this dialog will be saved to
the file "userdata/print.cfg" , and used again, as long as the
"printcfg" option is set.
💡 Note: This only works when not running Tux Paint in fullscreen
mode.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "printcfg=no"
or "noprintcfg=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--noprintcfg".
Print Commands
printcommand=COMMAND
(Linux and Unix only)
Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
the 'Print' button is clicked. If this option is not
specifically not set, the default command is:
lpr
📜 Note: Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 sent PNG format
data to the print command (which defaulted to "pngtopnm |
pnmtops | lpr").
If you set an alternative printcommand in the configuration file
prior to version 0.9.15, you will need to change it.
altprintcommand=COMMAND
(Linux and Unix only)
Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
the 'Print' button is clicked while the [Alt] modifier key is
being held. (This is typically used for providing a print
dialog, similar to when pressing [Alt]+'Print' in Windows and
macOS.)
If this option is not specifically not set, the default command
is KDE's graphical print dialog:
kprinter
Paper Size
papersize=PAPERSIZE
(Platforms that use Tux Paint's internal PostScript generator —
not Windows, macOS, BeOS, or Haiku.)
Tell Tux Paint what size PostScript to generate. If none is
specified, Tux Paint first checks your $PAPER environment
variable, then the file /etc/papersize, then uses the the
'libpaper' library's default paper size.
Valid paper sizes include: letter, legal, tabloid, executive,
note, statement, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10,
b0, b1, b2 b3, b4, 10x14, 11x17, halfletter, halfexecutive,
halfnote, folio, quarto, ledger, archA, archB, archC, archD,
archE, flsa, flse, csheet, dsheet, esheet.
Saving
Save Over Earlier Work
saveover=yes
This disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt when
saving an existing file. With this option, the older version
will always be replaced by the new version, automatically.
saveover=new
This also disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt
when saving an existing file. This option, however, will always
save a new file, rather than overwrite the older version.
saveover=ask
(This option is redundant, since this is the default.) When
saving an existing drawing, you will be first asked whether to
save over the older version or not.
Starting Out
startblank=yes
This causes Tux Paint to display a blank canvas when it first
starts up, rather than loading the last image that was being
edited.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"startblank=no" or "startlast=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--startlast".
newcolorslast=yes
Places the blank color options in the New dialog at the end, so
that any Starters and/or Templates are shown first.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"newcolorslast=no" or "newcolorsfirst=yes". In both cases, may
be overridden by the command-line option "--newcolorsfirst".
Save and Export Directories
savedir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint's "saved"
directory/folder is located, which is where Tux Paint saves and
opens pictures.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
Example: /home/username/.tuxpaint/saved/
* Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Data" folder.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\TuxPaint\saved\
* macOS — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Support" folder.
Example: /Users/Username/Library/Application
Support/TuxPaint/saved/
💡 Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
also specify a subdirectory.
📜 Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would also use the
setting or default for "savedir" as the place to search for
personal data files (brushes, stamps, starters and fonts). As of
version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately (see the
"datadir" option, below).
Example: savedir=Z:\tuxpaint\
exportdir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint exports files — single
images, or animated GIF slideshows — for external use.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — If available, wherever your desktop
environment is configured for pictures to be stored, based
on your XDG (X Desktop Group) configuration. (Try running
the command-line "xdg-user-dir PICTURES" to find out.)
Typically (in an English locale), this will be a "Pictures"
subdirectory in your home directory (i.e., "$HOME/Pictures"
aka "~/Pictures").
Tux Paint will fall back to using that typical directory,
of no XDG configuration can be read, or nothing is set for
"XDG_PICTURES_DIR".
* Windows - "My Pictures" directory for each user (normaly
"c:\Users\USERNAME\Pictures").
You can directly open the folder as follows:
* Press "[Windows]+[R]" key to open "Run ..." dialogue.
* Enter "Shell:My Pictures" in the text box and push
[OK].
* macOS — TBD!
💡 Note: When the defaults are used, a new "TuxPaint"
subdirectory will be created and used. (e.g.,
"~/Pictures/TuxPaint") When the "--exportdir" option is used,
the exact path specified will be used (no "TuxPaint"
subdirectory is created).
The directory itself (e.g., "~/Pictures/TuxPaint") will be
created, if it doesn't exist.
If the parent directory (e.g., "~/Pictures/TuxPaint") also does
not exist, Tux Paint will attempt to create it as well (but not
any directories higher than that).
Example: exportdir=/home/penguin/TuxPaintExports
More Saving Options
nosave=yes
This disables Tux Paint's ability to save files (and therefore
disables the on-screen "Save" button). It can be used in
situations where the program is only being used for fun, or in a
test environment.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "nosave=no" or
"save=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
option "--save".
autosave=yes
This prevents Tux Paint from asking whether you want to save the
current picture when quitting, and assumes you do.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "autosave=no"
or "noautosave=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--noautosave".
reversesort=yes
This reverses the sorting of the Open and Slideshow dialogs,
placing the newest images at the top of the list.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"reversesort=no" or "noreversesort=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--noreversesort".
Data
Lockfile
nolockfile=yes
By default, Tux Paint uses what's known as a 'lockfile' to
prevent it from being launched more than once in 30 seconds.
(This is to avoid accidentally running multiple copies; for
example, by double-clicking a single-click launcher, or simply
impatiently clicking the icon multiple times.)
To make Tux Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it to run again,
even if it was just launched less than 30 seconds ago, enable
this setting in the configuration file, or run Tux Paint with
the --nolockfile option on the command-line.
By default, the lockfile is stored in "~/.tuxpaint/" under Linux
and Unix, and "userdata\" under Windows.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"nolockfile=no" or "lockfile=yes". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option "--lockfile".
Data Directory
datadir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint looks for personal
data files (brushes, stamps, starters, templates, and fonts
specific to the current user).
Tux Paint will search for subdirectories/subfolders named
"brushes", "stamps", "starters", "templates", and "fonts" under
the specified data directory.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
Example: /home/username/.tuxpaint/brushes/
* Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Data" folder.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
Data\TuxPaint\brushes\
* macOS — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Support" folder.
Example: /Users/Username/Library/Application
Support/TuxPaint/brushes/
📜 Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would use the same
setting or default as for "savedir" to search for data files. As
of version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately.
💡 Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
also specify a subdirectory.
Example: datadir=/home/johnny/tuxpaint-data/
Color Palette File
colorfile=FILENAME
You may override Tux Paint's default color palette by creating a
plain ASCII text file that describes the colors you want, and
pointing to that file using the "colorfile" option.
The file should list one color per line. Colors are defined in
terms of their Red, Green and Blue values, each from 0 (off) to
255 (brightest). (For more information, try Wikipedia's "RGB
color model" article.)
Colors may be listed using three decimal numbers (e.g., "255 68
136") or a 6- or 3-digit-long hexadecimal 'triplet' (e.g.,
"#ff4488" or "#F48").
After the color definition (on the same line) you may enter text
to describe the color. Tux will display this text when the color
is clicked. (For example, "#FFF White as snow.")
As an example, you can see the default colors currently used in
Tux Paint in: "default_colors.txt".
NOTES: You must separate decimal values with spaces, and begin
hexadecimal values with a pound/number-sign character ("#"). In
3-digit hexadecimal, each digit is used for both the high and
low halves of the byte, so "#FFF" is the same as "#FFFFFF", not
"#F0F0F0".
Accessibility
Mouse
mouse-accessibility=yes
In this mode, instead of clicking, dragging and releasing (e.g.,
to draw), you click, move, and click again to end the motion.
Keyboard
keyboard=yes
This allows the keyboard arrow keys to be used to control the
mouse pointer. (e.g., for mouseless environments, or
handicapped/accessibility purposes)
Features:
* Fine movement within canvas, or coarse movement if Shift is
held.
* Coarse movement within tool button areas.
* Key controls:
* [Left]/[Right]/[Up]/[Down], numpad [1] thru [9]: Move
mouse
* [Space]/[5]: Click mouse (except when using "Text" or
"Label" tools)
* [Insert]/[F5]: Click mouse (always)
* [F4] jump mouse between "Tools", "Colors" and canvas
areas
* If mouse is within "Tools" section on the left, or
"Colors" section at the bottom:
* [F7], [F8]: Move down/up between buttons,
respectively (Tools section, only)
* [F11], [F12]: Move to previous/next button,
respectively
* To click-and-drag, hold one of the 'click' keys (e.g.,
[Insert]), and use the movement keys (e.g., [Left]).
💡 >Note: The "mouse accessibility" feature works with the
keyboard mouse controls. With both options enabled,
painting tools can be used to draw by pressing a 'click'
key to start clicking, movement keys to move around (which
will draw), and another 'click' key to end the click (stop
drawing).
* A regular mouse and/or joystick may still be used (so you
can, e.g., move with the mouse, and click with the
keyboard, or vice-versa)
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using "keyboard=no"
or "mouse=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
command-line option "--mouse".
Onscreen Keyboard
onscreen-keyboard=yes
Presents a clickable on-screen keyboard when using the Text and
Label tools.
onscreen-keyboard-layout=LAYOUTNAME
Selects the initial layout for the on-screen keyboard when using
the Text and Label tools.
Note: Using this option implies automatically
onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.
onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=yes
Disables the possibility for changing the layout of the
on-screen keyboard when using the Text and Label tools, useful
for simplifying things for the small children.
Note: Using this option implies automatically
onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.
⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
overridden by the user's configuration file using
"onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=no". In both cases, may be
overridden by the command-line option
"--onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=no".
Joystick
Main Device
joystick-dev=N
Specify which joystick device should be used by Tux Paint.
Default value is 0 (the first joystick).
joystick-slowness=SPEED
Sets a delay at each axis motion, allowing to slow the joystick.
Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default value is 15.
joystick-threshold=THRESHOLD
Sets the minimum level of axis motion to start moving the
pointer. Allowed values are from 0 to 32766. Default value is
3200.
joystick-maxsteps=STEPS
Sets the maximum pixels the pointer will move at once. Allowed
values are from 1 to 7. Default value is 7.
Hat
joystick-hat-slowness=SPEED
Sets a delay at each automatic motion, allowing to slow the
speed of the hat. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default
value is 15.
joystick-hat-timeout=MILLISECONDS
Sets the delay after wich the pointer will start moving
automatically if the hat is keeped pushed. Allowed values are
from 0 to 3000. Default value is 1000.
Buttons to Disable
joystick-buttons-ignore=BUTTON1,BUTTON2,...
A set of joystick button numbers, as seen by SDL, that should be
ignored. Otherwise, unless they are used by one of the
"joystick-btn-" options above, buttons will be seen as a mouse
left-click.

Overriding System Config. Options
(For Linux and Unix users)
If any of the above options are set in "/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.config",
you can override them in your own "~/.tuxpaintrc" file.
For true/false options, like "noprint" and "grab", you can simply say
they equal 'no' in your "~/.tuxpaintrc" file:
noprint=no
uppercase=no
Or, you can use options similar to the command-line override options
described below. For example:
print=yes
mixedcase=yes

configuration file(s), no overriding option is necessary.)
--nosysconfig
Under Linux and Unix, this prevents the system-wide
configuration file, "/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf", from being
read.
Only your own configuration file, "~/.tuxpaintrc", if it exists,
will be used.
Command-Line Informational Options
The following options display some informative text on the screen. Tux
Paint doesn't actually start up and run afterwards, however.
--version
--verbose-version
Display the version number and date of the copy of Tux Paint you
are running. The "--verbose-version" also lists what
compile-time options were set. (See INSTALL and FAQ).
--copying
Show brief license information about copying Tux Paint.
--usage
Display the list of available command-line options.
--help
Display brief help on using Tux Paint.
--lang help
Display a list of available languages in Tux Paint.
--joystick-dev list
Display list of attached joysticks available to Tux Paint.
Choosing a Different Language
Tux Paint has been translated into a number of languages. To access the
translations, you can use the "--lang" option on the command-line to set
the language (e.g. "--lang spanish") or use the "lang=" setting in the
configuration file (e.g., "lang=spanish").
Tux Paint also honors your environment's current locale. (You can
override it on the command-line using the "--locale" option; see above.)
Use the option "--lang help" to list the language options available.

(*) - These languages require their own fonts, since they are not
represented using a Latin character set, like the others. See the
"Special Fonts" section, below.
💡 Note: Tux Paint provides an alternative input method for entering
characters with the Text tool in some locales. The key comibation(s)
listed can be used to cycle through the supported input methods while
the Text tool is active.
Setting Your Environment's Locale
Changing your locale will affect much of your environment.
As stated above, along with letting you choose the language at runtime
using command-line options ("--lang" and "--locale"), Tux Paint honors
the global locale setting in your environment.
If you haven't already set your environment's locale, the following will
briefly explain how:
Linux/Unix Users
First, be sure the locale you want to use is enabled by editing the file
"/etc/locale.gen" on your system and then running the program
"locale-gen" as root.
💡 Note: Debian users may be able to simply run the command
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root to bring up a configuration dialog.
Ubuntu users may be able to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf" (the
"localeconf" package may need to be installed first), or you may need to
edit the file "/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" first, and add
locales they want, from the list found in "/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED".
Then, before running Tux Paint, set your "$LANG" environment variable to
one of the locales listed above. (If you want all programs that can be
translated to be, you may wish to place the following in your login
script; e.g. "~/.profile", "~/.bashrc", "~/.cshrc", etc.)
For example, in a Bourne Shell (like BASH):
export LANG=es_ES ; \
tuxpaint
And in a C Shell (like TCSH):
setenv LANG es_ES ; \
tuxpaint
Windows Users
Tux Paint will recognize the current locale and use the appropriate
files by default. So this section is only for people trying different
languages.
The simplest thing to do is to use the "--lang" switch in the shortcut
(see "INSTALL"). However, by using an MSDOS Prompt window, it is also
possible to issue a command like this:
set LANG=es_ES
...which will set the language for the lifetime of that DOS window.
For something more permanent, you can set an 'environment variable'
using the "System properties" dialogue as follows:
* Press the "[Windows]+[R]" key combination to open the "Run ..."
dialogue.
* Enter "sysdm.cpl" in the text box and click the "[OK]" button to
open the "System properties" dialogue.
* Select the "Advanced" tab.
* Click the "Environment Variables..." button.
* Edit the value of the parameter "LANG" (create it, if it doesn't
exists).
Special Fonts
Some languages require special fonts be installed. These font files
(which are in TrueType format (TTF)), are much too large to include with
the Tux Paint download, and are available separately. (See the table
above, under the "Choosing a Different Language" section.)
📜 Note: As of version 0.9.18, Tux Paint uses the "SDL_Pango" library,
which utilizes the "Pango" library to render text in the user interface,
rather than using "SDL_ttf" directly. Unless your copy of Tux Paint was
built without Pango support, special fonts should no longer be
necessary.
When running Tux Paint in a language that requires its own font, Tux
Paint will try to load the font file from its system-wide "fonts"
directory (under a "locale" subdirectory). The name of the file
corresponds to the first two letters in the 'locale' code of the
language (e.g., "ko" for Korean, "ja" for Japanese, "zh_tw" for
Traditional Chinese).
For example, under Linux or Unix, when Tux Paint is run in Korean (e.g.,
with the option "--lang korean"), Tux Paint will attempt to load the
following font file:
/usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts/locale/ko.ttf
You can download fonts for supported languages from Tux Paint's website,
https://tuxpaint.org/. (Look in the 'Fonts' section under 'Download.')
Under Unix and Linux, you can use the Makefile that comes with the font
to install the font in the appropriate location.
