Hey 2drawers :)
Two questions fo you.. whenever I right-click (pen/mouse) to pick a color at lascaux, and the color is in a different layer then the one I'm using, it picks the color but the pen turns to be an eraser. It's buggin me, because I forget about it a lot, and it takes me a few lines to understand why the applet isn't reacting the way I wanted. Is there a way to change it?

And another thing, how do I know in what angle to put the laptop screen so it would appear as it's shown in other monitors? I've noticed that when I view my pictures in other monitors, they seem to be more alive.. Thank you for every advice.

when you right click on a transparent part of a layer, it switches to eraser (because you're basically selecting transparent), if you right click on a non-transparent part, it will switch back to pen.
you can also use the 'A' key to switch back to pen.

with regards to the screen. all screens are different, so colors will look different on different screens. there's not much you can do about it (calibrating your monitor will help a little).

I always check drawings I make on my laptop with a very bright and clear / sharp screen on a regular flatscreen. Usually they are duller and show less detail.

Thanks for the "a" tip, didn't know that!
