hello, and i am making a color program and the desktop looks like this when i draw it











how can i fill in the black edges because in npaintpro, the colors and task bar are in those areas.

This doesn't even need to be made in npaintpro. It can all be accomplshed using the Paintutils API.

Go ahead and look for the paintutils API

id rather paint it out

it is possible?

[Engineer]

Not if the toolbar is there, maybe you should go to thread of npaintpro, they will help you

But for this I refer to paintutils though..

You could use the paint program on a monitor bigger than the screen with a 0.5 text scale.

Disregarding incredibly roundabout and hacky solutions, however, it would be better if you had a system of object drawing and click detection, rather than drawing a background in paint and defining different areas in your program. Doing it the way people in this thread have already mentioned gives you more flexibility with your program.

IIRC, you can scroll around the screen in NPaintPro with the arrow keys.

This is news to me.

color = colors.gray
For i = 1, 19 do
   if i == 5 then
      color = colors.blue
   elseif i == 10 the
      color = colors.lime
   end
   paintutils.drawLine( 1, i, 51, i, color )
end

So that or recreating your nPaintPro painting. />/>

Do 'edit' <program name of the paint file> and fill in the edges there and it should be fine
