Note: Please be sure to mention what operating system and OS version you are running (e.g., "Windows 10", "Mac OS X 10.13", etc.), and which version of Tux Paint you're using (it appears on the splash screen when you launch it, is part of the name of file you downloaded (e.g, "tuxpaint-0.9.18-win32-installer.exe"), appears at the top of your installed version's documentation, and is shown if you run the command "tuxpaint --version" from a terminal/shell/console).
Otherwise, before we can help you, the first thing we'll ask is: what operating system are you running, and what version of Tux Paint you are trying to use.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions regarding Tux Paint, you may e-mail the lead developer, Bill Kendrick, at: bill@newbreedsoftware.com.
