Types of pixels

There are 4 types of pixels that have been used to make various canvases on pxls.space.

Placeable colored pixels

Pixels that have a color and users can place on.

Every pxls.space canvas has these pixels.

Unplaceable colored pixels

Pixels that have a color and users cannot place on.

Some staff members are able to enable a special setting that allows them to bypass this restriction and place on normally unplaceable pixels.

The texture for the Gameboy on canvas 56a was made of unplaceable colored pixels. Some Pxls staff used the placement bypass setting to make some small text and art outside the normally placeable area.

Pixels that have no color and users can place on.

These types of pixels are disliked by some members of the community due to users not being able to revert any misplaced pixels since only some staff members can place transparent pixels using a special setting.
