Hello,
after all these beta versions, here is finally a stable release.
DOWNLOAD (http://vs.simutrans.com/tools/shades_6.0.zip) - version 6.0, ~600 kB
What's new since 5.1? Quite some changes, that hopefully streamlined the interface a bit.
- Area mode was removed.
- Modes were removed, everything is now a tool.
- All tools can be cancelled.
- Brush tool for removing special colours was added.
- Some old data were removed, resulting in much smaller download.
- External editors were removed altogether without replacement.
- The bug when adding backgrounds failed is fixed.
- Fonts can be customized with translations (better compatibility with non-latin scripts)
What's still missing? Just update for German translation.

I heard that. ;)
Well, no need to hurry ;) Or maybe yes? I'll probably release some 6.1 soon, if only to put its new guts under some serious testing...
Don't worry, I won't hurry - since I forgot how all this worked... need to look if it's still on my old computer, otherwise I'll need some help in getting me started again, I fear. ;)
What's going to be in new release: I took a serious look at this and reduced memory usage... a lot :P
I was wondering what were the memory requirements for the current version? 2 GB? :::)
Nah, only about 30 MB on regular basis and up to 150 with really xxl sized images. I left out background generation until it is used. By the way, window size also matters...
