[CREATE] Foreground/Background color ?

[Olivier BERTEN]

When there's no alpha channel, erasing uses the background color... but 
that's not erasing, it's just painting another color. If background 
color was an image setting it would make sense but, since you can change 
the background color as easily as the foreground, that 
background/foreground widget is just a 2 colors palette. It doesn't make 
sense to call them "foreground" and "background".


Same for the pressure thing: just choose 2 colors you want to mix in a 
tool setting.


In real life, you can't choose a "background color" while painting. You 
chose it before and it stays the same during the whole work. If you want 
to mix 2 colors, you just choose 2 colors. There's nothing like 
"background" and "foreground" colors...
