Settings

Open Settings with ⌘, or from the Simple Sprite Maker menu. All preferences live in a single window, grouped into the sections below.

Appearance

  • Appearance — System, Light, or Dark. Applies to document windows and Settings.

Canvas (defaults for new documents)

  • Grid size — 8×8, 16×16, 32×32, 64×64, or 128×128.
  • Show grid — whether the grid overlay starts on or off (toggle later with ⌘').
  • Background — Checkerboard, White, Black, or Custom Color. Affects what you see behind transparent pixels in the editor.

Animation (defaults for new documents)

  • FPS — playback rate for animation preview (1–24 fps).
  • Preview background — same options as the canvas background, applied to the floating animation preview window.

Onion Skin (defaults for new documents)

  • Enabled — start new documents with onion skin on or off.
  • Previous frames / Next frames — how many neighboring frames to ghost in (0–3 in each direction).
  • Opacity — base ghost opacity; frames further from the current one fade out automatically.
  • Tint previous blue / next red — directional color tinting for onion-skinned frames.

Custom background colors are picked from a system color picker.
