Tool to pick a background color ?

[Wolfgang]

Allison is right,

I just re-read the included textfile of SL-Picker.
If Infopoop let me do it, I enclose the ZIP to this message.

Don't forget to send Ladi the postcard !!

Thanks Roman for trying!

While it's good to learn that you can identify colours within XX, I have found WhatColor amazing within any other application. Acting like a "TSR", it's only $8 and you can try it first:

Nice effort, but lacks a couple of things:

1/ Hex values are not in the correct 6 digit web format (ie #c0c0c0 for windows grey)

2/ No facility for copying out the colour value to the clipboard.

I'm sure there are better ones out there, but it is nice and compact.

Is okay for me. I use it all the time. No need for other.

I find the Xara colour picker far too much of a distraction for use with other web tools - if I open Xara to check out a web colour I invariably start playing with it and get no work done!
