This is a possibility

Hmmm, nope, I was struggling with Stamp (as you can see from the original icon)

This is getting a little complicated. :)

There definitely needs to be a keyboard shortcut to allow for quick switching... a toggle + cursor change would work or just specific keyboard shortcuts to minimize confusion. Shift and ctrl click usually mean area or multiple select.

About the names, Token Tool and Editor (or Builder) Tool make sense, since it's not exactly a stamp tool (like Phergus said, stamp is a pretty specific UI thing).

I like the quick key and the different mouse pointer, we've got some new pointers that we'll integrate post 1.1

Ok, Ive gotta ask just because this is anoying the daylights out of me. Is there anyway to have a 2 pixel gridline. Every tile I try to use is a square such as 50x50. so there is a ring around each tile. You support 1 3 and 5 but not 2 or 4. Is it a possibility or do I need to start introducing a one pixel line between each square to make it work effectivly? Am I missing something?

The motivation for the odd numbered sizes is so that you get an even number of pixels on each side of the single pixel grid line. Having an odd number might make it look funny. But we can look at it and make a judgement call.

Ahh, I build my grid lines into the token itself, Each token has a 1px border around it that creates a 2px border naturally when stamped. That would be my problem.
