Three small drawing options in Settings → Drawing: - Pen size: Thin, Medium (today's width) or Thick. - Ink tone: Vivid (today's colours), Pastel, Muted or Deep. Shifts every ink colour together, including Match the pointer; white and black stay as they are. - Lines fade: adds After 1 second. Both new settings are cleared by Reset like the rest.

Hold the right button and click left to open a small ring at the pointer: - Left half: six ink colours. - Right half: up to six pointers (the pinned toolbar pointers, always including the one in use). - Inside the colours: three pen sizes (thick, medium, thin). - Centre: how long drawings last. Each click cycles Stay → 1 s → 3 s → 6 s; leaving Stay fades what's already drawn. A label under the ring names whatever is hovered. Click an item, or slide onto it and let go of the right button. Click outside or press Esc to close. Colours and pointers close the ring; pen size and timing keep it open so several can be changed in one go. Builds on the pen size / ink tone change (uses Preferences.penSize). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A new setting, off by default, in Settings → General → Clicking for real: "Left button clicks for real". When on: - The left button works as a normal mouse (click, drag, select), with the tap sound and a short ripple where you clicked. - Right-click is the tap (nothing underneath gets clicked); right-drag draws. The tap sound plays on release only when you didn't drag, so drawing stays silent. - The overlay no longer catches clicks over the Dock, so left clicks reach it. The ripple has its own section in Settings → Drawing (shown in this mode): on/off, style (Glass blurs what's underneath, Glow, Line), colour (or follow the ink), size, speed, and a Preview button. When off, everything behaves exactly as before. Builds on the quick ring change (hold right + click left works in both modes). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

An optional mode for people who want to keep using the Mac normally while pointing and drawing. Off by default: with it off, everything behaves exactly as today.

I know TinyHand's idea is that a click is a tap, with ⌥ and double-tap ⇧ for real clicks, so I kept this strictly opt-in. Happy to reshape it (or close it) if you'd rather not have a second mode.
