I think you might be able to tell at least something about whether you have a tablet stylus or a mouse from the pressure attribute/variable/property/whatever it is called. I spent a little bit of time looking at if we could use the pressure of the stylus to vary the line width, but it looked more involved than I had time for, and as you say, it's not a paint program. I just noticed that if I draw a freehand stroke (even after my patches), and then click the button on the stylus that corresponds to a right click (or just right-click on the trackpad/mouse), I can edit the properties of the current stroke to change the color/linestyle, etc. I also just noticed that if I open the color or line style dialog, I can still drag the colors and linestyles onto any freehand stroke, even in my patched freehand mode. So it is easy to change the properties of whatever was just drawn without having to change the tool, even after my patches. However, it may still not be easy enough for the official Skim application.
