    Microsoft Is Updating Paint With New Features And Refreshed Interface


    Posted: 08 Oct 2016

    The Paint app that ships with Windows is nearly as old as Windows itself and thanks to the leak of a new video, Microsoft is about to give the app its largest update in its history. As you can see from the video below, the user interface is being updated and there will be new features too.

    While the video does not explicitly say that this is a UWP, based on the user interface and the company’s push to get as many apps into the store as possible, it may be possible that Microsoft has converted the win32 paint app into this new universal app and then updated the UI.

    Yes, but I do wish it had a *few* more features, like blur and such...

    Now, is that what they call a paint job?

    And that app-ears to be an app... so will the Paint program (desktop version) remain? Or will we be relying on our friend WinAero?

    And with 3D, is this another small step for mankind towards a Star Trek style replicator?
