A new license for Paint.NET v3.5

Over the years I’ve had to put up with several individuals, and companies, trying to plagiarize Paint.NET by recompiling the program under a different product name and with their own name stamped into the credits.

Leftover Domain Names - “The Lambda Closure”

If anyone is interested in purchasing this block of domain names, please contact me — either in the comments here (leave a valid e-mail!), or via "contact …at… getpaint.net"

A real glass prototype for Paint.NET v3.5

In a much older post, I talked about how I did a small experiment with glass. And, just the other day I talked about the latest visual refresh for Paint.NET. Since then, I’ve decided that the free icons available from http://www.pinvoke.com, by Yusuke Kamiyamane, are a much better fit than those from the Oxygen or [...]
