Right, in system-config. If it allows you to put in a size specification in the 'Page Size' requester without complaint, and then proceeds to arbitrarily change it back to whatever it feels like, I call that a bug. If I want to make a picture that will show as 320*200, the bloody program should do it, or they should rip the 'Page Size' menu out of there and stop pretending to support different sizes. EA really ticks me off with this turkey. It allows you to use overscan, but that way invites trashed menus and screens and visits from the GURU. The so-called file requester is a hideous joke. The anim brushes do not work as the manual says they should. The 'Project' menu will not even show up (except for subitems) if I select 320*200, 32 colour. Using the font requester pukes debug information all over my CLI. This is the third version of DPaint. I could forgive the first one its foibles when the Amiga was young. I could forgive the second one because they really did make a lot of improvements; real improvements, not just a few flashy feature additions. I cannot forgive the third one. Maybe in DPaint 4?
