1.31.0: Paint's glow-up, the desktop colour picker, alpha in the colour dialog

on GitHub

Contributed by @HalanoSiblee in #9 — thank you.

New

• Paint, reworked.
  • Two new tools: Select, for a rectangle you can clear with Del or fill, and Gradient, from the foreground to the background colour along the line you drag.
  • Redo (Ctrl+Y), next to Undo.
  • Colours with transparency, blended onto the layer.
  • The Text tool asks for the text and its size.
  • Attributes and Stretch/Skew take width and height in one dialog.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything: number keys pick tools, [ and ] change the brush size, X swaps the colours, D resets them, and Ctrl+Shift combinations handle the layers. Help > Keyboard shortcuts (F1) lists them all.
• Desktop Color Picker (l2kpicker): press Pick from screen, or Space, then click anywhere to read that pixel's colour. It shows the colour as RGB, hex and HSV, and Copy HEX (or C) puts #RRGGBB on the clipboard. Start it from Run.
• The colour dialog has an alpha bar, a checkered preview behind the colour, and boxes to type R, G, B, A or a hex value (#RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA).

Changed

• Build objects go to build/ instead of beside the sources. Run make clean once if an old checkout has stray .o files.
