2013.1
This version of RWCE contains some changes introduced in RealWorld Paint 2013.1, including redesigned color picker, drawing tools and effect windows.
There are also changes directly related to cursors:
- When selecting cursor sizes in various places of the application, a text field with one or more sizes in pixels and a dropdown menu with standard options is used.
- Improved support for Linux XCursor files. When opening a xcursor file, all resolutions are imported and the cursor can also be saved.
The code was moved to a plug-in that can be installed from the online page.
- Function that uploads cursor to the cursor library is now more user friendly.
Users must log in before uploading a cursor.
After a successful upload, a link to a web page with the cursor is displayed.
Obviously flawed cursors can not be uploaded anymore.
