Color Picker

Color Picker wanted to install additional software & I was in a hurry so I quickly typed in my password and my laptop fan then goes from not running to making a racket like something big is going on. Gimp froze up & just about the time I was going to force it to close it began working again. Color Picker never gave any indication that it had captured a color despite the checkbox being configured to indicate so, nor would anything paste into the color changer HTML box in Gimp. I removed the applet & uninstalled but there was no indication that it removed whatever else it had installed. Being clueless I had to search for the proper terminal commands to see and it appeared that xclip:amd64 was what was installed but also man-db:amd64 at the same time. I purged xclip but was afraid to do the same with man-db because it appears that man-db showed a prior installation as well. My custom Tux penguin cursor/pointer now shows a crossed out circle on his belly whenever I mouseover a panel which never happened before. This was more effort than my brain can handle so I'm just going to return to screenshot-pasting into Gimp to match colors.

This is porbably my most used applet. It's amazing. Thank you!

The applet is wonderful, very good indeed!

Nice applet. It should zoom in the area to be more precise though. Like deepin-picker for example.

excellent applet

Running my screen on full resolution and HiDPI setting, I get weird color values. Mostly it's #000000 but there are some grayscales and even colors. But never the correct color...

+1 for an option to copy the hex code without the "#" symbol !

Just installed it on Cinnamon 3.8.9 under Mint 19, with all three dependent packages installed. No matter what I click, it reports the colour as black (#000000). Ideas?

What kind of clipboard does this app use? I can't paste it in PhpStorm, but I can paste it anywhere else and copy it again in order to paste it into PhpStorm. I don't know much about the Linux clipboard system. Only that there's a normal clipboard and a middle mouse click clipboard that copies whatever you select.

Excellent applet! I would only make the icon a bit smaller to better fit its appearance into the panel.

For those using Cinnamon but not Mint or a .deb based OS Arch pacman -S python2-xlib python2-numpy Using Pip installer with python3.x as the default and python2.x installed $ sudo python2 -m pip install python-xlib $ sudo python2 -m pip install numpy

It's a very nice and useful applet. Working like a charm. I just have one suggestion: Please, add an option to copy hex code without "#" symbol.

Works fine on Mint 18.2 X64. Very handy tool :)

It's not working properly on Mint 18.2 (Cinnamon - 32bit). It don't save the clolor codes. Indeed, using CopyQ, after pick a color you cannot find the color code in history.
