YW Boomer, I just noticed that this is a newer version of a
proggie I already have. I guess I hadn't used it because it
requires installation. If you install it and think it's
wortrhwhile wouldya give a shout out.

It's fine. Unzipped 9kb .exe, 48kb uninstall diz and txt files (1kb
each) and a 21kb chm file. I had one I liked better. I'll have to
check the archives. But Pixie is good for its size. :)

What's unusual about Pixie is that it gives the CMYK values. There are
lots of other colour pickers about, but very few indeed which do that.

Install is harmless and not necessary. Just copy program folder after
install and uninstall it. Be careful with the magnifier option... it
drained my sys resources 50% (saw it with Quick Resource). Spacey

Yes, I am familiar with this methodology.
It is just that the whatever an installer is going to do still
gets done by running the installer. It'd be nice if programs
that don't require an install provided a compressed version for
download, K-meleon for instance. Odd that the beta was zipped,
and the release is an installer. Also, it crashes repeatedly on
trying to configure preferences. Maybe an update to 8 won't have
this crashing problem. Until then, it is 7 for me. Yes I know I
digressed. :)

Use Total Uninstall to undo changes... the changes made by this
particular install are completely reversible... I guess you mean that it
is mainly just a pain for the extra steps.

There is also: MouseZoom
http://www.neuber.com/free/mousezoom/index.html

It zooms the current mouse position (50x) and shows the color value
(RGB, HEX, HLS, CMYK) and the absolute and relative position of the
point where the mouse is.

doesn't require runtimes
doesn't require installation
doesn't write to the registry
doesn't modify files outside of its own directories

The only thing is: you must get an unlock code.
You must answer 2 questions after having looked at 2 screenshots on
their website of their other programs.
Does not require an e-mail address.

Kinda like MindGameWare! :)
Looks good.

Have you tried ColorCop?
It is my favorite, and i have tried them all.

That is my current favorite too, but it drives me crazy sometimes
because if colorcop doesn't have focus, the keyboard shortcut for
grabbing the color value doesn't work. I also like Eyedropper, but in
version 3.0, you can only choose RGB values to copy to the clipboard.

Spacey
