## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
**Aseprite** is an open source program to create animated
|
||||
sprites. Sprites are little images that can be used in your website or
|
||||
in a video game. You can draw characters with movement, intros,
|
||||
textures, patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, isometric
|
||||
levels, etc.

What makes Aseprite different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do
|
||||
pixel-art. Indeed, it isn't a photo retouching tool or a vector
|
||||
graphics editor. Mainly it is a tool to create tiny animations
|
||||
pixel-by-pixel.
|
||||
|
||||

## Configuration files
|
||||
## Issues
|
||||
|
||||
In Windows XP/Vista/7 the main configuration file is `aseprite.ini`
|
||||
which is saved in the same folder of `aseprite.exe` executable file
|
||||
(in this way Aseprite is a portable application, i.e. you can
|
||||
transport a copy of the program in your USB drive).
|
||||
There are a list of
|
||||
[Known Issues](https://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/list) (things
|
||||
to be fixed or that aren't yet implemented).
|
||||
|
||||
The following is a list of all configuration files that you could
|
||||
modify (it is not recommended to do so, but is useful if you want to
|
||||
super-customize Aseprite):
|
||||
If you found a bug, or you have a new idea/feature for the program,
|
||||
you can report then using the following links:
|
||||
|
||||
aseprite.ini Program configuration
|
||||
data/gui.xml Menus, shortcuts, and tools
|
||||
data/convmatr.def Convolutions matrices
|
||||
data/skins/*.* Aseprite skins
|
||||
data/widgets/*.xml XML files with dialogs
|
||||
* [Report a bug](http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/entry)
|
||||
* [Report a feature](http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/entry?template=New%20feature)
|
||||
|
||||
In GNU/Linux, the configuration file is ~/.asepriterc, and the data/
|
||||
files are searched in these locations (in priority order):
|
||||
