This includes exciting new and magical features that are gonna blow your mind!

• A new home screen:
Paint Master has a new home screen that provides some basic functionality such as creating a new blank canvas and opening existing photos and editing them.
• A new status bar:
A status bar is added to show details such as the resolution of your canvas and the x and y position of your mouse.
Changes Made:
- Rainbow mode now starts from the hue of the foreground color that you have selected (i.e. if you select light blue, then it will start at light blue and change its color accordingly in a rainbow pattern). On prior releases, it used to be red at the start.
- Neon mode is now improved! You don't need to switch the blend mode to dodge. Check the result below:
- Now, you can draw any shape that contains a gradient fill on it.
Fixes:
- Fixed bug that affected silk mode and satin mode respectively. These modes have an independent speed controller instead of relying on the speed of the metallic mode.
If any problems or bug reports, just leave a comment and I will try my best to fix it.
As of now, stay tuned.
