About

WindowsInk provides two new output modes

  Windows Ink Absolute Mode
  Windows Ink Relative Mode

These output modes enable pen pressure support for all apps compatible with Windows Ink API like:

  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Paint Tool SAI 2 (SAI 1 is not supported)
  • Clip Studio Paint
  • Krita
  • Corel Painter
  • etc...

Requirements

Installation

OTD -> Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> WindowsInk -> Install

Setup

In order for WindowsInk to work, you'll have to set it as the active output mode of OTD as follows:

Don't forget to hit Apply! 🍞

Commonly Asked Questions

Windows Ink is not responding to pen input!

If you're not receiving a notification saying that you should install VMulti driver, follow its instructions for updating VMulti driver.

Mouse bindings are not working!

Windows Ink cursor and the normal mouse cursor are separate entities within Windows and has different capabilities. A Windows Ink cursor do not have the ability to send a "normal" mouse left/right/middle click. Use the Windows Ink bindings instead.

  • Left click is equivalent to Pen tip.
  • Right click is equivalent to Pen button.
