MyPaint version pre-alpha preview

Thanks for being patient, here’s a new build with some additional changes.

In this build I’ve introduced a new slider that replaces the old slider and value box.

In the past we have had discussions about combining the value box and slider to be able to make the tool options widget smaller. However another reason for making this change was also that on macOS, the slider implementation has been broken for a long time, causing all kinds of graphical glitches.

I intend to try to get this particular change into the main branch too but before I do that, it would be nice to get some feedback.

The new slider comes in two variations: Left to right:

slider-gui

Middle to left/right Certain options scale from negative to positive, as such the slider can also now start from the middle.

slider-gui-2

How this file its installed in the pencil2D program we already have?

@GARTHENNIS Hi. This is a standalone version of Pencil2D, which has MyPaint brushes.

You would have to download the files for your particular operating system separately and install / run it normally.

As long as you don’t try to use two version of the program at the exact same time, there won’t be any issue with having different versions of Pencil2D on your computer.

After testing them I’d say Left to Right. That one felt the most intuitive. Thank you for your hard work as always, the sliders seriously feel so slick lol :pray:
