DLLs that Paint uses
 

I recently came across a Livejournal entry that showed somebody running MS Paint in OS X, using Crossover.

(It says X11 up on the top bar but those are definitely Crossover windows.)

He said it was by putting the appropriate DLLs in the folder containing the executable.
Anybody know the names of these DLLs?

I realize there are reasonable alternatives to Paint, but unless there are programs that can do trick number 4 on this page:http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/tutorial/mspaint then there's no point to using any of them, cause I have Fireworks for everything else.

Honestly, sir, it's Paint. Go find something else to use on Mac OS X rather than contaminating your system. :P

http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/

You're welcome.

I've already tried that, it doesn't have the same functionality required to do the trick that I need it to do. ;)

Define your trick better than that web site does so I can figure out a better way to help you than by letting you run Microsoft software on your Mac.

Alright then. In Paint, click the selector tool, then on the squares below the tools, click the lower square. Or go to Image, and make sure Draw Opaque is not checked. (at least I think it's in Image.)

Draw two circles, fill them up with a color. Select one of them and roll it over the other. Paint's ability to ignore a certain color (the color underneath the "main" one) is the reason I want to keep using it so badly. You can use the eyedropper tool to change it, take the eyedropper tool and right-click on the color inside the circle... and now the color inside is ignored, treated as transparent and replaced with any color the object is rolled over.

This is the functionality I need. I've tried Paintbrush and Seashore and haven't found that ability.

You mean image transparency? Can't you just use layers in Fireworks to achieve this?

Yeah, I guess I can. It's just simpler in Paint is all. Much easier... Plus I tend to use it to recolor sprites on a sprite sheet en masse without having to use the fill bucket on all of them. However, Photoshop seems to be able to do color replacement so I won't worry about that...

And I made a wonderful screwup with my VMware Windows, I used Filemon to pick up what Dlls Paint was trying to get to. Somewhere along my moving of them into OS X I must have wound up doing something to User32.dll and now the VM won't start up. I won't ask for help on fixing this, I think I found where to do it... but I won't bother with it for a while. I think I shouldn't be doing that kind of crap anyway. :P

Short version: I'm an idiot.

lHAY GUYZ I HERD OSX RUNS PHOTOSHOP IDK ITS JUST A RUMOIR MAY B

*goes in a corner and feels stupid for a while*

Superkid11, you could try copying every DLL out of /windows/ and /windows/system and /windows/system32/ and seeing if paint works with those :P

(oh, and the reason I'm using forward-slashes instead of backslashes isn't because I love UNIX (although I do) but because I'm using one weird-ass keyboard that has an extra long Left Shift key instead of a backslash.)

Nah, no reason to bother with all that. I mean, I do have photoshop and fireworks... I just have to get over my Paint addiction. :P

Hooray! Wise decision.
