That would rock. I think that an unified paint system will be cool. Select type: color pixmap, grayscale (a la paintbrush), bitmap (a la pencil), math formula (a la ink). Select fade out, size (scaling of map and cache until changed), color (if bitmap or grayscale, based in toolbox color), spacing, time speed (airbrush >0, others 0, just move), opacity, etc, etc. Intead of multiple tools, just one with different modes (meta brush, with a box to load and save settings). This way, each time something new is added, all kinds have it. Just my ideas, if somebody founds interesting info, use them, otherwise discard. GSR
