I'm going to buck tradition here and say that I would love to have this a little bigger. I would like a little more control over the preset shapes, too.

Personally I love the size, and the function, and the creativity. I think this is a great start for future updates to come. Maybe other colors would be nice, or changing the frame's color for that matter.

I agree that it would be nice if this widget were bigger - or even resizable. Also, the back of my hardware drawing toy is black.

Other than that, it's an excellent widget. Fun to use and well-executed.

hey, love the widget. I find that the glare is on the board is kind of harsh. The reflection might be a little too intense. I really like the shake effect.

I like the upgrade (well, the parts my G4 recognizes), but there are a few more things I have come up with since last I posted.

—Could we export the pictures we make with this widget?
—Could we gain control over the included pictures (I may want to drop an Apple logo in the middle, but not stars)?
—Could we set a starting point and then use arrow keys for pixel-by-pixel drawing, esssentially making them into the original knobs? Even being able to specify sensitivity on the back would be cool.

Now that I have thrown enough stuff in here to make the code huge, I had better run before someone beats me with a printed volume of code (please don't use MS code if you do this...the bloat would kill me!).

Fantastic attention to detail!
1) shake to erase
2) the glare on the widget changes based on it's position

I was kind of hoping to be able to draw with the arrow keys also, but still very cool.
