Microsoft Paint.... Easter Egg?

I thought this was pretty funny. Some people here may already know about it but whatever.

On ms paint say i draw a circle like this


If i click zoom the max i can zoom in is 8x correct?

Well if you click your mouse around the red area marked on the picture below


It will zoom in to the hidden 10x (it may take you a few trys to click it)


I thought it was funny that ms paint had an "easter egg"
Why didnt they just make it a button? Why is it there? Im confused. :blink:

 

Just had a fiddle around with it and it actually works
Crazy shizzle.

 

Wow, I actually did not know about this! Good find!

 

Lmao.
:|

Wtf?

 

i have service pack two, there is no "Red area" for me

i am looking right at it, it's not there for me :/ ahh well... pretty cool i never heard of anything like this....
i know there is a way to cheat at MineSweeper... when you highlight the blocks, 1 pixel will turn white or black depending on wether it's safe to click or not, white means you can click it.... the pixel that changes one in the upper most right corner of the screen.

 

cool

 

Lol, nice minesweeper find. And its not actually red there, i just marked it red so you know where to click.

 

I'm sure theres a point to this... wait, maybe not...

either way, pretty funny stuff ^_^

 

ctrl and then (+) does it to a million time zoom

 

ummm dont you mean photoshop is ctrl +?

 

ok wow thanks i just did it, that's awesome man hehe.... yeah i learned about that minesweeper egg from The ScreenSavers (computer help show that aired on ZDTV, TechTv then G4TechTV, respectivley...) back when it was on ZDTV...

 

That's actually interesting, but this is off-topic so I'll move it.

 

Oh sorry, im dull when it comes to where to post -.-

 

haha,,
cool

 

its ms paint you sad -------s!
