Color Picker? Thread last updated on 2006-06-05 00:32:51

I'm sure I'm not looking hard enough for one, but is there a module that lets the user pick from a color chart and outputs the Hex code? or RGB?

xprop will show the color under your mouse cursor. Not sure what you mean by "chart" but there are tons of color charts on the net. Be more specific about that part.

I think he wants to mouse over a color in a color chart and click on it and use it as his themes color for a specific item. You may be better off looking at the code that was using in xij and use the windows color picker instead.

^^Hmm, yea, I guess I wasn't clear, I want a chart like the Window's paint define custom color dialog. I'll look into xprop.

^I couldn't find the color picker in xij, but then again I got a lot of error messages when I loaded it. I'll see if I can fix the code.

Oooh then you want a combination of comdlgls and xprop. I make pretty extensive use of both in FBL Dynamic.

ah, thanks, comdlgls was it, I don't even need xprop now.
