Customization of SAI by its Inner Means
For tweaks described here you need SAI Ver.1.1.0
[!] Make a back-up of your files before applying some changes.
I. How to solve the trouble if your tablet pen moves too slow in SAI.
1. Find the [misc.ini] file in your SAI directory and open it.
2. Find in the file the issue "Avoidance for bugs of Wacom tablet driver Ver6.0x later." Right below this title you'll see following lines:
; Setting:
; 0 ... Mouse event controls by SAI.
; 1 ... Mouse event controls by WinTab.
;
TabletMouseSimulation = 1
Change "0" to "1" as it is highlighted with blue above.
3. Save the file, open SAI, go to Others -> Options -> Digitizer Support and set cursor mode to "Mouse" instead of "Pen".
4. Using this method, you can face the trouble that mouse and pen cursors are visible in different places inside the canvas. Try this solution: change "1" to "0" in lines described above, find following lines and make changes highlighted in blue:
; Setting:
; 0 ... Show mouse cursor on non filterd stylus position.
; 1 ... Show mouse cursor on filterd stylus position. (Ignores with S-n filter)
TabletCursorMode = 1
II. How to rearrange and resize SAI palettes.
By default, SAI palettes are embedded in workspace and cannot be rearranged by your wish. But it is possible to change it.
1. You need the [misc.ini] file again.
2. Find the issue "Popup panels" in the file. Right below this title you'll see following lines:
; Show Navigator, Layer, Color and Tool panel with popup window.
;
; Setting:
; 0 ... Embeded
; 1 ... Popup
;
PopupPanels = 1
Change "0" to "1" as it is highlighted with blue above.
3. Save the file, then open SAI and arrange palettes as you prefer (here are some screenshots of rearranged SAI interface).
Unfortunately, it seems that the Color palette cannot be resized, and blue frames of palettes cannot be recolored, what a pity!
In the same way, you can modify some other things, just read the explanations in [misc.ini].
III. How to add custom canvas templates for new file.
It is described in official SAI help, so it isn't very smart trick.
1. Find the [presetcvsize.conf] file in your SAI directory and open it.
2. You can see that SAI has many presets that you may never need. Read the explanation on the top of file to understand the outline and just add preset you need using my blue-colored lines below as pattern. Also, you may delete presets you don't need.
