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

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.

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 :)/>
