Screen Picker is my first Open Source gadget which I have developed using a COM Dll.
This gadget allows you to pick a color from the screen and copy it's code (html) to the clipboard. Simply it's like an eyedropper tool for the whole screen... :-)
How to use :
- Move your mouse over the screen, the gadget retrieves pixel color where the mouse points, and display it in the small box.
- Press F8 to select a color. The code will be automatically copied to the clipboard if the check box 'Auto copy' is checked.
- Selected color will be displaying in the large box.
I used :
- VS.NET 2005 to create the helper dll. (ATL C++)
- Many Faces... :-)
Cheers!!

Are there any library DLLs needed for Screen Picker?
One one of my XP pc's Screen Picker works fine, but on the other I get a message that says [object error] upon start up.
Any advice please?

Exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it. :)
Hi, I just downloaded this gadget and cannot figure out how to check the "Auto Copy" box. Actually, there is no box there at all. I would not mind that, but I also can't manually select and copy the text. Is there something that can be done to fix that?
@Valerie: Oh yes! I have noticed the same issue. might be something with the new version of GD or so... I'll try to fix this asap. Thanks a lot for pointing it out!
The Screen Picker gadget is GREAT and as a web developer saves me a great deal of time but there does seem to be one problem. I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and it will hang after going to sleep. It works most of the time but if the laptop goes to sleep, when I try to bring it back to life I get a black screen for about 8 minutes and finally a message will come on the screen saying "Scren Picker is not responding - do you want remove this?".
