Hi all.
Most brushes are quite useless with the pencil, since it treats even an
opacity of 1 as fully opaque. I just fiddled around a little bit in
paint core and tried the following:
simon@cantaloop:/unstable/src/gimp/app> cvs -z3 diff -u ./paint_core.c

------------------
this sets the threshold to 64. Suddenly the brushes are recognizeable... :-)
What do you think? Does this break something? The best way would be to make
it configurable, but then this is definitely a new feature ;-)
Bye,
Simon
