Looks like a big change from the older versions, right? It has a few new features, like additional shapes and brush types. However, one thing that has bothered me is the color palette, which, like in the Vista version, has different, non-"pure" colors.
See what I mean? In case you don't, I'll explain: the red in that palette isn't the purest red your computer can display. Instead of RGB(255,0,0), or #FF0000, it's RGB(237,28,36), or #ED1C24. Not that big of a difference in text, but as you can see the difference is much more pronounced in the other colors, such as green. Can't I just have a pure green without having to use the custom color function all the time? Why couldn't Microsoft have made a palette like this instead?
Well, from my other posts you may have noticed that a lack of source code doesn't always stop me from making programs work better. :-) After figuring out where the color palette is stored, I was able to change the palette to the one above.

Note that if Microsoft asks me to remove this, I will, and I will figure out some other easy way to modify it, like some kind of patching tool.
