OK, thanks for the video, you have actually found a bug in the Dropper tool. It was not properly updated and reports wrong colors, the pixels in your image are in fact correct. I will fix it, but for now, there are workarounds. Many of the drawing tools (including the Flood fill) can act as a dropper tool when you hold CTRL key and click a pixel. This method should wo...
You can check what version you have in the main menu Help->About RealWorld Paint It could be that at certain times, there were problems with colors due to handling of sRGB. But it should be OK in the latest version. If not, please update the description - for example what method do you use to check out the actual color? Do you have only a single layer or more, do y...
Next batch of updates
More updates are ready to be published. Or are they? One never knows until he tries (entomologist trophy is always waiting). The most visible change is a replacement of the old "People" tab with a more general page currently called "Mingle", but that...
On the Beach - July 2025 TOTM
Welcome to the "On the Beach" Theme of the Month contest. Immerse yourself in the sun, sand, and seashore as all cursor and icon artists are invited to capture the magic of the coast. Whether it's the...More website updates are on the way. In the near future, you can expect a slight modernization of the main Gallery and People pages. I actually do not like the term People too much, it may change. To be more concrete, the Gallery page will show active contests, and there will be new functions on the People page, for example the ability to find a person by their userna...
Return of the Theme of the Month contests - part 2
So, the new TOTM system is now being tested. You will find the official announcement of the July TOTM in the Request forum. As of now, the most important part - distribution of prizes - is not yet functional, but there is time until the end of the mo...Return of the Theme of the Month contests
Once upon the time there were monthly contests organized by willing volunteers. It was fun and I think these contests should return, this time with a bit more support from me. How is it going to work? Each month, there will be a theme announced. Anyo...I am not sure it was ever there in any official version, but it is part of the RWDesigner, you can download it using the last link in the list here
Yeah, you should not use * in a file name.

Forum & Groups
This week, there was a minor change to the forums, something that was planned and missing. Also, since nobody has created a group yet, I'll tell you how to do that today. Forums You have no doubt noticed that the Forum tab was removed during the webs...Good find, it is fixed now. You have just earned yourself a trophy.
A bunch of minor updates
It has been a month since the new web script was published, but I am still working on it and new changes are coming almost every day. Here is an overview of the more significant ones. Suspicious magic bag The main purpose of this new item is to allow...When you are above 150 karma, your karma wheel gets an upgrade.
If you want to add notification to your news feed when a cursor set or an icon set it published by anyone, you can now do that by subscribing to these news sources on your user-news page.
User icon updates
User icons were a controversial topic since they were first introduced on rw-designer. Uploaded icons need approval before they are visible to other users. There are rather strict rules on what is acceptable. Majority of uploaded icon break the rules...Quick fact: While new comment system still supports the smiley codes in the form of sequences of normal ASCII characters (like : ; ) etc.), however it is recommended to use the unicode characters for smilies instead. And BTW you can use other unicode characters that the font used by your browser supports. 🌻 Just google them. But don't go too much overboard, if the ...
You are right, there was a bug in the javascript code for initial state generation. It should be working now. Thanks for reporting it.
The change to the button poms was necessary. It is always dangerous to have unlimited sources of free money in an economy, it leads to market malfunctioning. After the change, they are still sources of free money, but now the rate at which this free money is accessible is slowing down. And by the way, the groups were a...

News feed news
For old time members of rw-designer, the changes to their profile pages were probably the most significant. There is much to be said about the new profile pages, but in this blog post, I only want to focus on one part of old user profiles - the news ...Quick change: the number of items that each user can offer for sale has been limited to 3. Otherwise, the flea market will be too messy. Attempting to add more will now fail, just think about what you really want to sell.
