SUMMARY

When you open an object in Paint It!, the Paint It! server displays the previous active tool and previous foreground color. The default tool selection is the pencil and the default foreground color is black. It is possible for these default selections to vary.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, if you do the following, the pencil tool in the toolbar is shown as selected; however, the active tool is still the spraycan:
  1. Insert a new Paint It! object into a client application such as WordPad.
  2. Inside of the Paint It! server, select the spraycan using red as foreground color, and paint some stuff with it.
  3. Click outside the object to return focus to client.
  4. With the right mouse button, click the image, and click Paint It! Image Object.
  5. Click Open.
RESULT: The pencil tool in the toolbar is shown as "selected"; however, the active tool is still the spraycan. Both the selected and active color is still red.

If you then close the image by clicking the Quit button, and then reopen the image (via either Edit or Open), both the active and selected tools match (pencil) and the color selections revert to Black/White.
