I can't figure out what that little selection box is under the colour sliders to the right. I've been switching between the two options and trying everything to compare it but I never notice anything different.

Hey, this is quite subtle. It toggles the blending mode of your selection between alpha blending and replacing the alpha values of the underlying image. There will only be a difference if your selection contains pixels with an alpha value less than 255. 

Hope that answers your question! :)

Yep, now I get it. Thanks!

Would love to try this on macOS :)

Have you tried building it from source? :)

First, awesome tool , this was what I was looking for. 

The only issue that I had is actually for bigger resolution works, shapes and the capacity of change the pencil size are really necessary. 

 The ui is awesome, simple and easy to understand,

Thank you! This is so cool! :D I made a GitHub issue for your request: https://github.com/fabioarnold/MiniPixel/issues/32

For now you can try holding shift to draw lines and alternate between pen und bucket by pressing N and B if that is any help to speed things up... I understand having different brushes will be really helpful when sketching or working on large pieces.

Looking forward to seeing your work! :)
