And I realized #Grafx2 does have a color cycling feature just like in #DeluxePaint, but Grafx2 does not support separate color cycling ranges.

In fact, it only has one color cycling range compared to, say, DPaint III's six separate ranges.

(Deluxe Paint IV has an impressive eight individual color cycling ranges!)

Leaving this here, just in case someone like @fractalkitty or some other alien, ghost, or geek comes across some notion about doing palette cycling for a bit of change of pace, after having looked at Deluxe Paint: https://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2/downloads?order=platform&desc=

I have just relased a new version 2.9 of GrafX2, "the ultimate 256-color painting program".
Binaries are available for Haiku, Gamepark Holdings GP2x, Nintendo Switch, Atari Mint and Windows (yes, our build automation somehow focuses only on the most ridiculous platforms). For Linux it should hopefully be updated in your favorite distribution soon.
Not a lot of changes in this version, many bugfixes and more fileformats supported (Apple IIgs, C64, CPC, Atari TT...)

The palette window in grafx2, it has several buttons at the top, 256 color swatches in a 16x16 grid, an area showing a gradient from currently selected colors, and 3 RGB sliders. The user interface uses a monospace 8x8 font and only 4 colors (black, white, and two grayscales)

Screenshot of GrafX2 with a picture by Tomic (that you can barely see, as there is a window above it). The window shows the "smooth" effect configuration where several 3x3 blur matrices can be selected, or custom valaes can beentered manually

I have not done any serious development in #GrafX2 in... I don't remember, 10 years at least? But I managed toget back into it and somewhat remember how it works. Today I added a new window when loading a .scr (Amstrad CPC) file without a known palette or loader (basically just a dump of screen memory). You can select the videomode and width/height in that case.

I finally bought a real domain name for #GrafX2 so you can now find the homepage at http://grafx2.eu
The .tk domain expired or was cancelled again and my .tk account was semi-banned so I can't re-register it… and it's not such a great idea since I don't actually live on Tokelau island where this domain belongs, so, that's fixed now.
I guess I should move pulkomandy.tk as well, but that would break a lot more stuff :(
