I wanna quickly give some advice to anyone who uses Aseprite and a screen tablet like XP Pen (XP Pen 13.3 pro in my case), but before I do I just wanna say that this software is lovely and that it can help add so much more personality to someone's streams, it's helped with mine so far.
Now, if you're like me you might've noticed that for some odd reason the arm portion will sometimes stop tracking Aseprite movements when using the tablet but not for the mouse. If you're specifically in the Spud Arm screen itself it will track with the tablet, but swapping over to certain software while using the tablet will cause it to stop tracking. It took me a bit to figure out how to get around it, but for using Aseprite, I recommend turning off the "Windows Ink" mode for the Tablet. For some reason beyond my limited understanding (I'm a pixel artist, not a programmer, so this stuff's beyond me), Windows Ink, Aseprite, and the Spud Arm don't all like to play nice with each other all at the same time. The 'Ink' mode doesn't seem to interfere with any other art program's 'spud compatibility' to my knowledge (Procreate seemed to work just fine with it), but Aseprite seems to throw a fit with it. Thankfully though, pen pressure isn't really important for Aseprite (if it's even used at all), so you're fine to turn it off.
Basically for all my fellow Aseprite users with Tablet Screens: Try turning off Windows Ink mode. It might help ya out.
question sorry! when i open the tablet up in obs i just get the green background with it? how can i just have the tablet? i tried doing the transparency little thing in obs but its not working :(
Great little program! I just wish there was a way to limit the degree to which the tablet hand projects left to right, since when I move my hand all the way to the right (I'm left-handed) it looks like my arm snapped off lol.
Thank you for making this tool. It has been incredibly helpful. I used to spend a lot of time making a tool like that, but the results weren't quite satisfactory. I truly appreciate!!

Hey, I need some help, please! Since the customized hand/tablet is placed, the mouse tracker cannot keep up with the mouse exactly where it is
Thank you for this masterpiece!
