Good question!

When you first make the new image, go to Image>Mode>Grayscale and then make your brush. When you save it as a .gbr, it should allow you to change the color

Hope this helps

Good question

Scan lines are often used in modern digital art and aren’t very useful when using Gimp to do something like a simple photo retouch. Here’s an example of scanlines in some modern art (add h t t p : / / to the beginning and replace all ‘DOT’s with a period):

Scan lines are also commonly used on ‘userbars’, small icons found in forums.

I hope this answers you question

I knew how to do this already but good tutorial, explains it well,
Another good way of doing scan lines are horizontally, it makes it look more like a TV screen,
Diagnol scan lines are more for making wallpapers look stylish etc,
Cheers for the tut and Merry Christmas, well it’s not anymore but ah well
