> The <SPAN

>Device Status</SPAN
> dialog will show you the
status of your input devices. This is only useful if you have a
drawing tablet. If you do have one, then you will be able to see
and adjust what tool, color, brush, pattern and gradient you have
assigned to your different pens (i.e input devices).
</P
><P
> To alter the context each device has, you simply drag and drop
brushes, tools etc. with the <SPAN
CLASS="MOUSEBUTTON"
>middle</SPAN
>
mouse button from the respective dialog (e.g you drag and drop
tools from the <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>toolbox</SPAN
>).
</P
><P
> It can be very wise to set up a standard context for all your
tools and save it (and disable saving of device status on exit in
the <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>preference</SPAN
> dialog). By doing so you
will always have the same settings of the tools each time you
start <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
>.
