-mtPaint is a painting program which Mark Tyler developed from scratch so
-he could easily create pixel art and manipulate digital photos.
-
-It uses the GTK+ toolkit (version 1 or 2) and runs on PC's via the
-GNU/Linux or Windows operating systems. Due to its efficient design it
-can run on older PC hardware (e.g. a 200MHz CPU and 16MB of free RAM).
-
-mtPaint is free software, which means you are able to freely use, modify
-and distribute it according to the GNU General Public License.
-
-Currently mtPaint is maintained by Dmitry Groshev.
-
-If you want internationalization, pass INTL=yes to the SlackBuild.
-If you want this built as a gtk1 app, pass GTK1=yes; else it will be
-gtk2.
-If you want gtk{1,2} widgets then pass TKWIDGETS=yes; else it will use
-its own file and color selector widgets.
-If you want the handbook installed (about a three meg html book) then
-pass HANDBOOK=yes.
+mtPaint is a GTK+ painting program which Mark Tyler developed from
+scratch. Currently mtPaint is maintained by Dmitry Groshev. It is
+aimed to be simple and easy to use.
+
+mtPaint can edit indexed palette or 24 bit RGB images and offers basic
+painting and palette manipulation tools. It also can handle JPEG, GIF,
+TIFF, BMP, XPM, and XBM files.
+
+NOTES:
+If you want this to build as a GTK3 app, pass GTK3=yes. mtPaint comes
+with its own file and color selector widgets. To use the GTK2 default
+ones, pass TKWIDGETS=yes to the script. This will have no effect with
+GTK3=yes.
