![]() My brother and I intended to make a full screen maze using the zoom feature, but we probably only ever completed around a tenth of the image before getting bored. I also liked making wallpapers for Windows and even made a gag background suggesting the computer had encountered a serious error upon booting (though nobody ever fell for it). Using the program, I enjoyed making art for video games I always intended to program, but I had no idea how to load the graphics in QuickBASIC, so I never did. My family's first computer came with Windows 3.0, and I remember playing with Paintbrush for many hours drawing (mostly awful) graphics. When Windows 95 was released, Paintbrush was again overhauled making it into the superior, but still not very impressive, Microsoft Paint. Paintbrush saw only minor updates with each upgrade of Windows 3, like combining the font menus into a single dialog, and updating the icon. While Windows 3 was in development, Microsoft overhauled Paint by adding support for 4-bit color, made BMP the primary format, and changed the UI to make it look nearly identical to MacPaint. Paintbrush is based on Paint, a monochrome graphics program released with Windows 1, which itself was an early version of the program PC Paintbrush developed by ZSoft and OEMed to Microsoft.
