You can avoid using the Color Palette Editor entirely by generating random color palettes until PixelToy comes up with something you like. While dragging, the affected color entries are outlined in white. Blending is achieved by clicking on a color and dragging to another color. You can change individual colors in a color palette, but you'll get the most appealing results by setting only a few colors, far apart, then blending them together. In the Color Palette Editor window, colors are displayed from upper left to lower right, in the same order one reads the words on a page. Color palettes directly affect everything you see in PixelToy. On top of any filters you use, you may also horizontally and/or vertically mirror the display.Ī color palette is a collection of 256 colors. In addition to these preset filters there is a custom filter which will let you create even more. Some filters are more appropriate in some situations than others for that reason, in the previews below the yin-yang is stationary in some and moving in others.

The filters menu is like a series of switches selecting a menu item turns it on, selecting it again turns it off.

While the actions draw interesting things on the screen, the filters warp, blur, melt, fade, and otherwise alter what's on the screen. Images can be placed anywhere in the PixelToy display and assigned a variety of behaviors via the Image Options window. As you probably expected, you can make them react to sound input as well.

Text is a very versatile action, with its own Text Options window. Like any drawing program, the mouse button controls whether your 'pen' is touching the 'paper'. Most Macs have the capability to use either a microphone or an audio CD as audio input you select which sound input device to use in PixelToy's Preferences window.ĭoodle is used to draw on the PixelToy window with the mouse. Sound Visuals are a variety of displays including oscilloscope-style waveforms and graphic equalizer spectrum graphs, edited with the Sound Visual Options window. Raindrops are random circles that splat all over the screen like fat raindrops. Any worker bees that catch up to her disappear and are replaced with a new bee at a random position. The queen can either chase the mouse cursor or (if you're not feeling like constantly interacting with it) she will chase a random point. Insect Swarm resembles a swarm of one queen bee and any number of worker bees who incessantly follow her. The images below are of each action using the Rainbow color palette and the blur filter.īouncing Lines bounce off the walls and floor, slowing down gradually until they disappear to be replaced by new, fast ones. You can adjust parameters for each action as described in the Sound Visual Options, Text Options, Particle Options, Image Options, and Misc Options windows.
