Some Tweaks for SAI
January 29th, 2010 at 09:00 pm
I finally solved my Intuos4+SAI trouble, thanks to the cold and boredom those forced me to digg in SAI files.
SAI has amazing file called [misc.ini] that allows to make some user tweaks for application. My problem was rooted in old SAI verison (1.0.1), that didn't have advanced options in its [misc.ini]. New SAI (Ver.1.1.0) allowed me to solve my trouble through [misc.ini] in seconds.
In addition, using SAI files, I made some other tweaks and share them, the small guide is about following things:
1. How to solve troubles with tablet pen speed.
2. How to rearrange palettes. Examples: 1, 2, 3
3. How to add custom canvas presets for new file.

You're wizard!!
Amazing tips, many thanks! Popups released some precious space, it's great for my laptop! But have no idea why Sai doesn't want to be colored in system's style, its blue frames are quite old-fashioned....
Some more tuts and Systemax will pay you for keeping their secrets safe
A question! It seems that SAI allows to customize many things. It there a way to change the color of palettes bodies and increase the font of interface?
P.S. Congratulations with returning to SAI, keep up doing your magic!
Thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find how to change the color of palettes (I'd like to replace white with something more dark, too). Maybe in next versions Systemax will extend the [misc.ini] file for perfect SAI tuning...
But font can be customized. Here is excellent SAI tutorial by Lillymon, it explains how to tune font in SAI.
Great tutorial, TYVM for writing this!
Btw, I miss your artworks and hope to see some new pieces soon!

Detaching of palettes works fine, thank you, it's great idea!
