Ever since I got windows 7, I've seen that sometimes drawings can look rather ugly because somehow for instance blue area's suddenly look purple, or gray looks more like yellow. Does anyone know how to counter this?

Thanks for you help,

Mark

My guess is you have a color temperature setting that is throwing everything off.

What is your graphic card and monitor set up?

Nope, has nothing to do with it. I save all my drawings as .PNG (of course), and when I open such a drawing in paint, it shows the correct color! It's almost as if paint on W7 uses different codes for these colors, but I can't seem to find what. Till than I will stick with the blue from the standard window color, at least that one stays the way it is.

Ok good to know it's not anything wrong with my computer. Excellent link Heuhen! Beautifull that it does not overwrite the current paint. Thanks again!

I don't know, but as it is a executable file I guess you can just run it on any OS.

No. It will not run in OSX without Parallels or VMWare, or some other Vitualization scheme.
