Desktop Notepad - Draw on your Wallpaper!

Description
General Purpose Notepad for your Desktop Background, including full Color Support, locking and one savestate!

Within the actionwheel, which is accessible with a triple left click, you can change your drawing color, lock the screen and clear your drawing!

The savestate is always kept in storage, even over system restarts, and can be overwritten and loaded at any time using the actionwheel.

The existing drawing can be locked and unlocked to prevent accidental change, for example when icons are dragged around.

Warning: Multiple screens are very buggy due to quirky behaviour with Wallpaper Engine

With multiple screens, there are very likely a lot of issues in a lot of configurations, so I would suggest to only use the wallpaper on a single screen.

Troubleshooting

In case your cursor is offset, try going through the mouse calibration procedure from the wallpaper settings. Just choose "Mouse" from the "Calibrate this:" dropdown to start.

If you just saved a drawing and loading it cleared the screen, but did not paste the stored state, first try to draw anything, then paste again; if it still doesn't work, switch to another wallpaper, then back to this and load again, it should work properly.

The monitor i was trying to use it on was my second monitor, which is 2560 x 1600. Its a smaller 15 inch monitor so it would be hard to click the single pixels directly. Is there no flexibility for how far you can be from the pixels before it doesn't count?

@Daniel Larcin It might be little deviations from the (literally single pixel) dot to click, otherwise I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Might I ask what screen(s) you use?

Update: Just tried again just clicking on the top left corner and it went through, but now it just thinks my cursor is on the top left at all times.

Whenever I try to calibrate the mouse, it just says that something didn't add up even though I've clicked directly on the dots.
