Hi, there!

24/03/07 - Here is a new beta 2:
http://www.kochonet.com/archives/RGBcompBeta.zip

RGB companion will be Free.
Currently, I am working on the Capture panel...

It is still in beta stage, so feedbacks please.
Thanks, köchOn
;---------------------------------

I think it's my first post on this forum and my first PB project.

http://www.kochonet.com/archives/RGBcompBeta.zip
This link will be effective for only few days.

RGBcomp is mainly a RGB to Hex Converter but it contains a little more:

- A color picker with multiple zooms.
- Some palettes to pick colors directly.
- A keeper that will keep your prefered colors and will let you make cool
gradients.
- The ability to Lighten or Darken the actual color.

The interface is small and efficient (for me)

As I ve put some efforts to learn PB and Windows apis, I think to release
it as a Shareware ($5) such I need some encouragements for my work.

This version is a beta but got all you need to work with PB Hex values.
Look at the readme.txt for limitations.

I've used a lot of tricks to make the interface looking my needs.
It may won't work on your System so please try and tell me...

Thanks, köchOn

Doesn't quit properly when clicking on the close window. I cannot delete the file afterwards and when I open TaskManager the program is still running.

Edit. Didn't notice it was running in the taskbar. Didn't expect such a small program to be run that way. I think it should say that it is minimising when you click on the close icon.

Right click on the taskbar icon then quit.

@kochon, like I said in the edit to my last post, I didn't notice it was running from the taskbar.

I think you should implement it so that clicking on the close icon closes the program and maybe have it so that it minimises to the taskbar.

Just a suggestion, the program itself works fine, I like the picker routine, very useful.

OOOPS!

Sorry Derek, forgot to read the end of your post.

Minimize to Tray will be avalable in the prefs tab.
I set it so cause for a companion, it's normal to stay accessible

Other preferences:

- Choice for the hex convertion between PureBasic (PB), BlitzBasic (BB)
and Web
- Launch at Windows Startup
- Keeper size: 8 or 16 colors
- User defined palette file (*.pal containing 256 RGB values)
