Paint.Inside the same pretend PC.
Paint is one of the places where Empty’s desktop becomes more than a frame around the shops. Make a drawing, save it in the pretend filesystem or turn it into the wallpaper behind your shopping windows.
Open Paint in EmptyFree to use in your browser. The PC needs JavaScript; this guide does not.
Start with a small drawing
Choose a drawing tool and colour, then make a few marks on the canvas. The app keeps its own drawing state and Undo history. Inspect what is already open before starting a new document so you do not unintentionally replace a drawing you wanted to keep.
Save it somewhere on the pretend PC
Use the save controls to give the drawing a name in Empty’s filesystem. A saved drawing can be found again through File Explorer. Pay attention to any save or storage error; an unsaved canvas and a saved file are different states.
Let the drawing appear elsewhere
Use the wallpaper action to put your drawing behind the desktop windows, or export a PNG when you want an image outside the pretend PC. The wallpaper connection is an easy way to see one app change the wider desktop world.
