So, I just installed Windows 7 recently, and I liked a lot of the set-up (although it does give me a bit of a headache). Anyways, I love the new aesthetics.
The only problem I have with it is its Microsoft Paint. It's the bane of my life. I can't pixel-by-pixel draw efficiently anymore, and transparencies don't work correctly (which is very important when making sprites!). Not to mention using the straight line tool (auto-select, really?) and just plain sprite-making (all I ever do on paint) is just harder. The only reason I won't use GIMP for this is because of its inability to make straight lines (that I know of).
So, does anyone here know how to make straight lines in GIMP (like in Vista's Paint) or of a Windows7-compatible download for Paint that works in almost exactly the same way? I know there's Paint.net, but is that the right thing to install?
tl;dr: I need a version of Microsoft Paint similar to Vista's, but installed on Windows7 (and not the anti-sprite version that's currently installed).
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
