I would love to see an eye drop selector in the Color Picker Tool to sample color from anywhere on the desktop.

It would be very convenient for us to have.
I have been using ColorPic. However old utility and with Windows 10, the area capturing isn't under the mouse cursor now.
I don't know if there's anything better but ' Just Color Picker ' from
http://annystudio.com/software/colorpicker/ ...does work with also Windows 10.

Hi.
@
Zebuddi123: Nice stuff. I think a tiny box showing the color would be complementary. Also like using GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN) and subtract the Window width to get that nice placement regardless of resolution.

Lunasole: I've actually been to your page already, and downloaded that. I didn't know what to expect since there was no image offered up on the site.
Just got around to testing and it works perfectly under Windows 10, and it's spot-on! Excellent job on that. I think this'll be my new fav to replace the old ColorPic utility that isn't accurate under Windows 10, or with my Windows customizations.

Nice to hear it works fine on 10, I'm still sitting on 7 and not planning move from it anywhere.
Btw thanks for reminded about lack of screenshots. I should add them months ago to that my "homepage" generator, just was too lazy as often. Anyway, finally added ^^

I'm always looking for screenshots. I think screenshots would complement the product page, good decision to include.
There are several old and popular Color picker utilities, and they don't capture directly underneath of the mouse cursor. Your utility is spot-on, wouldn't hurt to mention Windows 10 support for those in doubt.
When you update that utility, do you post an update notification somewhere on this board?
Edit: Answered my own question... You do.. http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 14&t=66495 just you haven't posted about the latest update there.

Yes thats one of things good "for marketing purposes" :) Just stuff I'm posting on that page is not "commercial" so rarely care about such things.
Glad you liked it, tell if there will be some bug, etc
