Need run a build or have a local to download the app?

The code all claims full copyright - what is the license of this project?

PS Great work - been wanting this for ages!!

Usually apps that sit in the menubar (like dropbox or cloud app) don't have to live in the dock and they don't show up when cmd-tabbing between apps. It would be nice if there was a setting in preferences to hide it. A keyboard shortcut to activate it would probably be enough.

It says This Domain Name Has Expired 👎

allow user to hide the dock icon in preferences.

as result of #12, mouse cursor should move too when move with arrows
that's hard to find real location only by zoom window

Nice looking application. I love the utility of the color clipboard history.

One of the main reasons I open a color picker is to detect a color so that I can paste it into Illustrator, Photoshop, or sometimes the OSX system color picker. These input areas don't allow the # at the beginning of the HEX code. This forces me to copy the color, paste it into some text editor, remove the hash, recopy, then paste into the app I need. I suspect I'm not the only one who's run into this pinch point before.

Adding a little checkbox that would optionally turn off the # before the hexcode would set this application apart from all the other color pickers out there.

I'd offer to look at the code myself, but I have no Obj-C experience. Any thoughts on adding this?

Title says it.

This is totally a minor bug, but I thought I would mention it since I noticed.

If you open the color picker and move your cursor to the boundary of the screen the magnifier window runs out of pixels to display in its square box. To compensate the image starts stretching in the direction you are mousing, showing half the pixels by stretching them out. I don't think this affects the ability to pick colors or anything. OSX's Digital Color Meter handles this by filing half the box with an unmouseable black area.

Cheers

It's possible to remove smooth in zoom window and display it pixelized?

Hi,

First, I would like to thank you for this useful tool!

My keyboard layout is Bépo.

When I hit Command + Maj + P, nothing happens.

If I hit Command + Maj + J (J with Bépo = P with Qwerty), the copy works fine.

So I think the key is hardcoded. Could you change it to consider the keyboard layout?

Thanks!

Would be great to have keyboard shortcut to activate color picker pro

I am running Mac OS 10.8 (on MBP-Retina) with the latest version of Color Picker Pro. I really love this app, but I recently found a bug where the history view is distorting the colors. It sees the correct color in the viewer, but then places the wrong color in the history view.

This can easily be seen by grabbing a color, then using your key command on the first history slot and repeatedly hit the key to see the colors lighten over time. This happens every single time you capture a color, though, which is a large bug for anyone wanting the history for exact color preservation.

You can see in the screenshot that the colors are distorted BOTH in the history view and also the pulled color (to the left of the HEX color identifier). I am not sure why this is...

I just installed on OSX 10.8 and I'm seeing the cursor in color picker pro loupe so the only color that can ever be picked is black on the cursor.

Hey, love the tool so far, it makes life a ton simpler.

Only complaint is that the small box showing the color gets a bit distracting when browsing. It'd be nice to be able to disable the box, leaving the color picker icon for easy access when needed.

The crosshairs in the magnified view sit to the top and left of the pixel you're selecting. Shouldn't it rather be in the middle of the pixel you're on?

when I quit and restart the application is shows the color preview again although I've unckecked it in preferences before.

On some screens clicking repeatedly in the color history changes the color slightly.

It could be nice if you can move the cursor one pixel at a time because right now it can be difficult to pick one pixel when it is surrounded by antialiased colours.

Or what if you want to pick a border colour? I find it difficult to move the mouse cursor just one pixel so I often end up just inside or just outside a border.

(Or maybe that's a job for a different app?)

The color being selected seems to be the pixel to the lower right of the crosshair - it would be more intuitive if the crosshair went through the pixel it was selecting.
