The spare frame is a separate image that can be used for different purposes. For example you can do little test drawings, use it as a snippet container. It is also used by the paint mode Rub Through (see menu Mode).

Background fixed

This function simply takes the current image and uses it as background. If you now draw something on this image with the foreground color it can be removed again by using the background color. Instead of drawing with the background color the image is restored. See also the toolbox.
