Hi, this is simple request: please, make an option for primary and secondary strokes separately to enable random color strokes.
Maybe its me, but sometimes i change stroke colors just because im getting tired of one. Also sometimes i just paint stroke all over the screen for no reason - its relaxing plus you don't have to switch to some painting software - strokes are already there! Same with my keyboard and mouse lighting effects - sometimes i change them just because. You know, nowadays there is RGB everywhere and would be cool if some of it will be implemented in the StrokesPlus.

Oh and another request - add an option to make stroke look like rainbow with no particular color selection.
Thanks!

I added a couple things in 0.5.6.5 to allow you to do this via script - the UI already has 8 million options as it is, lol.

Global Actions - Mouse Events - Release

Check the box, then use this script:
Code:

function randomColor() {
    var rnd = new System.Random();
    var newColor = new StrokesPlus.Types.WinApi.COLORREF();

    var r = rnd.Next(256);
    var g = rnd.Next(256);
    var b = rnd.Next(256);

    // Stroke colors cannot be pure white
    if(r == 255 && g == 255 && b == 255) {
        b = 254
    }

    newColor.R = r;
    newColor.G = g;
    newColor.B = b;

    return newColor;
}

// Primary stroke color
sp_config.PenColor = randomColor();

// Helps to keep the two colors different from each other
sp.Sleep(15); 

// Secondary stroke color
sp_config.SecondaryPenColor = randomColor();

// Refresh colors
sp.UpdateStrokeColors();

Every time you release a stroke button, the colors will be changed.

Rainbow is out of the question due the way the drawing happens via GDI, which is used for performance and memory purposes - not like some resource expensive DirectX layer or anything fancy.
