I can't find a settings window for mtPaint. Where is it?

@Flash

It is under the IMAGE heading on the toolbar. It is at the bottom PREFERENCES

Just extract the archive and point it towards the Index.html file

@Flash press F7 on the keyboard

To download the contents from their website

wget -m -k -p -P /root https://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/handbook/

It will create a directory in your /Root directory

The settings toolbar is the official name for the window

The mtpaint manual is also available online

I found it. It was right under my nose. F7 doesn't open the Settings Toolbar, at least not in EasyOS.

And F12 may not open the Dock either, which also would give you access to the settings.

Unfortunately many moons ago someone found it a good idea to let JWM hijak the F12 key for its menu - in addition to the already existing Alt+F1 shortcut . Consequently F12 is unusable in many Puppies for applications like Firefox, Xfe, Inkscape or mtPaint. Easy to fix. No idea though what EasyOS does with F7. Works in all other Puppies I tried.
