Hi Danik, hi all,

I went through a problem earlier :



There are colors that you don't see well. And even one that you absolutely cannot see... And this is because of the palette's background's color. It's jut a gray color and nothing else. I think I have a solution (but you may have already thought about it) :



And pop ! the color you didn't saw appears !
it's simple : we kill the bat- err.. just make the background like this, a diagonal (or whatever you want) patern of two close colors (here : the main gray of your GUI and a darker one)

That's all folks :) Any thoughts ?

I find the black stripes too stressful on the eyes, but i can see where you are going with the solution. I find this more relaxing and it reassembles how it is done in a couple of other programs.

But the white color can still be kind of annoying, especially at night... plus it does not really match the theme of PyxelEdit. A darker tone should fix that though, like this:

It just have to be a small patern. Stripes or squares or circles or lolcats... It can be anything you want.
