Problem with Xara Xtreme color picker and XGL/Compiz

[abligh]

I haven't seen anyone mention this problem on this board, but it seems that the Xara Xtreme color picker doesn't work properly on systems that use XGL/Compiz.

First I've heard of that. Could you please file a bug at:
http://bugzilla.xara.com/

I don't have an environment to test it on, but if Gimp works (picking from other applications) we should be able to get Xtreme to work.

Thanks Alex, I will do that.

Hi jbus, welcome to talkgraphics.
Unfortunately I have no knowledge at all in this area - I use Windows.
BUT I did want to say that you have an outstanding computer. I watched your youtube video and was amazed! Thanks for sharing that.

Glad you liked the video Drifter, but that is not my desktop. That's just one of the many XGL videos I found on YouTube. Right now my system is using a newer version of Compiz (composting window manager) with newer plugins than the one in the video. I'll have to try to record my own desktop video sometime

I've the same config (Ubuntu 6.06 + XGL/Quinn Compiz) and I don't notice any problems with the colour picker... weird...

Now I'm perplexed Since the color picker worked fine on my laptop that doesn't use XGL and didn't work on my desktop that uses XGL, I assumed it was a problem Xara Xtreme was having with XGL/Compiz. But after reading Skadge's comment I killed Compiz on my desktop and the problem still exists. I uninstalled/reinstalled different versions of XX with autopackage several times so I don't think it's a problem with the installation... Or is it??? Are there any other XGL/Compiz users that have tried Xara Xtreme?
