Hi all The attached change set let you get the fist brush in the paint tool with a width of 1 pixel.
This occurs if you uncheck the preference eToyFriendly.

The patch seems to be for Etoys 3.
Proposed fixes should be for the current 4.x branch. In Etoys 4, brush sizes are hard-coded in PaintBoxMorph>>initializeBrush. Instead, they should be computed based on screen DPI so they will work for both XO and desktops. I will file a tracker issue to collect the fixes.
Etoys will always have EtoysFriendly switched on to encourage young students and their teachers to explore freely without fear of accidental damage.

I have filed a tracker issue SQ-1004 for the same. Existing Etoys users can drop the attached file into Etoys session to draw thin pencil lines.
Suzanne, could you please drop the attached file into Etoys and let me know if you are able to paint thin lines with pencil?

Hi Subbu, I am using Squeak 3.11.5(betea) from SEp1 2009 Compiler:gcc 2.95.219991024 It worked for me. I would be in favor of including it either way, as a preference or as the default.

I think it is a good idea to enable 1-pixel wide pen, but I'd just like to point out that the problem of 1-pixel wide pen on XO was not (only) the DPI, but the color scheme of the display. The color of a line drawn by 1-pixel wide pen appears to change in a very interesting way. So, solely depending on the DPI would not do it.

I am sure many desktop projects would have used 1-pix lines in their sketches. Should we support editing them on XO too? Shouldn't there be a way to adjust line appearances on XO to accomodate its triple-pixel dots?
Is there a way to check if the display is on an XO?
