Why do some user interface add-ons have no effect on Personal Paint?
In Personal Paint, there are different contexts in which the available palette colors can change, at which parts of the user interface have to be redrawn in consideration of the new environment. Because the system functions that handle the drawing of certain user interface details like gadgets and borders do not support dynamic change of palette colors and drawing pens, Personal Paint has to use its own code to render many user interface objects. This means that, for example, if you have a tool like “CycleToMenu”, it has no effect on Personal Paint (which, by the way, provides equivalent functionality through a specific option).
