Why I Love Tux Paint ! ! !

• Simple cute UI brings me joy
• It makes sounds
• Fun to draw images in
• Stamps!!!!
• Awesome gallery page

STEP 1 - READYING FILES

For each stamp you want two files. Image and Audio. Image should be a transparent png. I use procreate on my iphone to png-ify my images. You can also use an SVG which would probably be better but that is a different beast.

Name it whatever honestly it doesn’t show in the program. I make mine ones that are easy to retype because multiple files will retain that name (ie axe.png or sam.png).

Then the audio file. This is the sound that plays when you click the stamp. It needs a .ogg or .wav file.

I recorded mine in GarageBand. Then used share>export song to disc - and saved it as a .wav file.

The stamp pack available for download has awesome voice lines when you click the stamps that sound kind of janky so I used my laptop microphone in my kitchen to preserve that effect.

Name the file the same as its associated image so now you have something like axe.png and axe.wav

STEP 2 - PLACING THEM

Now you just have to find the folder. Theres different files for different users on a device but its all very nebulous to me but what I did worked so whatever.

On a Mac you go to finder and press go at the top. Then ‘Go to Folder…’ type ~/Library then go Application Support >TuxPaint >stamps

it may be empty but that is ok.

Windows erm.. I have to test on my compy then I shall update you

Once you are in that folder, make a folder for your stamps. I named mine Pepsiharlot :)

Then just throw all of those files in there willy nilly.

STEP 3 - REAPING THE BENEFITS

Then launch TuxPaint and they should just be in there.
