Flood fill icon

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi guys,
I switch from flood fill to draw modus all the time, and I often have trouble 
remembering in what mode I am. 

Wanting to draw while you are in flood modus is very annoying and I have to 
undo all the time.

It would be very usefull for me if the normal cross-hair would switch to 
another icon (a bucket), like what happens if you select the pipette, so that I 
won't keep on making this mistake!

Yeah, that's a good idea. I've often been thinking that it would good if 
"extreme" operations were only executed once (doesn't Brilliance do that?) and 
then the program reverted back to normal drawing, for things such as "replace 
color (fill)" that frequnently drives me crazy when I forget its still active. 
But perhaps it would be enough (and hopefully simple enough) just to add 
another (or a few more) mousepointer(s).

The problem with the bucketfill pointer I saw in other programs is it often 
makes it hard to see which pixel exactly I'm pointing at.

Other than that, we need someone to draw the icon :)

No technical problem as far as I can see.

I actually drew some right away for my theme to test just that...

The icon from comment 4 is still the one used in DPaint skin, and it's too 
large, it gets cut off.

At the moment, icon size limit is 16x16; the 31x31 canvas in skins was my idea 
to give the information about hotspot, I didn't think further.

Actually we could support variable-size icon (up to 31x31): the extra RAM is 
trivial, it's just a matter of writing the code to detect the dimensions while 
parsing the skin.

The simplest solution would be to make them all 31x31, with the hotspot always 
in the center.
