Clicking on it allows you to easily select the desired zoom percentage. You can now zoom from the default 100% all the way up to 800%. The zoom slider remains available for those who prefer the sliding zoom functionality.

The app now features improved transparency effects and an enhanced Image Properties dialogue. Additionally, the Paint app’s backdrop will display the desktop background when other windows are minimized. The accessibility of shortcut keys has also been enhanced.
