Hello all

in my screenset I would like to change the text there is on the botton, I have selected this on Vacuum_down.png and would like to change from "Vacuum" to "ATC-open" do you use paint or other simple software from Windows ???

GIMP is free, and very powerful.

Paint seems more than enough
I used generative delete to remove the old text

then I fiddled with the layers to place the text exaclty in the middle

Also Photopea seems like a nice free alternative and is Photoshop-like

on the forum they say it's Helvetica Neue LT Pro 55 Roman
I think it's more like a stretched Bahnschrift
