Tux Paint is an easy-to-use drawing program, designed for children ages three and up. It offers a simple interface with large, colorful buttons and sound effects. It has an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative. Even though it is designed for kids, the program is not limited to simple paint operations, but includes a good array of features like paint effects (rainbow, fading, sparkles etc.), auto-fill, text insertion, shapes, image gallery, image stamps, and more. The program can either run in normal windowed mode or full screen. Tux Paint is easy enough to be used by young children, yet provides enough features to keep them using it as they grow older. Tux Paint runs on a variety of operating systems, including all Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD and Solaris. It works well on slower machines (e.g., Pentium 133MHz), and on thin-client systems. Don't laugh, but here in the TQF Submissions office we prefer this over MS paint for preparing screenshots etc, and it has a lot more features too!
