*mirror flip (WIP)
*res. canvas (resize the canvas size)
*trans col (define the transparent color)
*color replace (replace wished colors to another new HSV)

-Frames
*Open Box (opens the window to work with multiple frames or frameworking, it can add new frame, copy but doesn't copy colors, paste and delete. max 16 frames)

-Customize
*Bg colors (change the background colors) *customize.

-CO-ART
*link box (opens a window to connect via online with a partner) *it needs log me in hamachi.
*co-dots (opens a window to se what your partner is drawing, but doesn't send RGB colors yet, and it get lagged) *you need to get connected first.
