Questions about WPS

Ghost Toast:
Is GIMP free?  ALso, I tried paint already and it doesen't work how I want it to.  I can't keep the mose from shaking.

PaulPosition:
If you're doing smallish buttons, you'll need to zoom in a lot and paint one pixel after another (ie, click, click, click, click... instead of 'drawing' per se).

Googling for 'icons' and 'pixel art' might get you some good tips. And having a look at current WPSes by other artists should help you figure out what's the deal with the pink thing (transparency).

The GIMP is indeed free (in both senses of the word).

Zardoz:
paint.net is another good free one for windows

edit: oops - once again i didn't read the post carefully - you're already using it!

maybe you want to create scalable vector-graphics? inkscape is good (although these formats probably aren't supported by rockbox you could create your image on a large, workable scale and then convert to .bmp)

This isn't a problem with the program, this is a problem with using mice to do graphics work - which is why a lot of people who work with graphics programs a lot tend to use tablets rather than mice ;)

Although practice makes perfect as they say - you can achieve some pretty decent results with the mouse - it just takes patience and a lot of use of the "Undo" feature when you screw something up!
