I was bored, and while downloading XDrop think: "Yeah, Yet Another Color Picker" But I just impressed with it now, mostly with the interesting drag'n'drop stuffs. Really nice work! And after all - it's Autoit!

One little bug - checkbox in the config works only when clicking it at right 3/4 of control.

I just have to comment that this is one very nice program. The code looks pretty clean and you clearly know what you're doing. I will really enjoy and be able to use this program!

Thanks!

Just couldn't withstand the urge to express my thanks and admiration for this wonderfull tool. :">

Great job, josbe!!!

( it just never stops amazing me what can be done with Auto-It...)

[Josbe]

Thanks.

By the way, new update is coming.

I worked in XDrop's code a weeks ago, some new features. I will post soon.

Stay tune.

If someone have any suggestion/idea related, please send me a PM.

XDrop updated:

0.15: I worked very slow in this new updates...See http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/josbe/jscripts/_tools/xdrop/xdrop_history.txt

Finally, I decided to remove the code for a custom cursor(eyedropper, hand), because this has some inconveniences, for example, if the script crash.

- Please report any bug/suggestion.

XDrop updated:- Please report any bug/suggestion.

I'm afraid I found a bug (I'm using jpm's 3.1.0++ build on WinXP SP2):

The "Interactive mode" checkbox does not work right. Delete the xdrop.ini file and try the sliders before and after clicking the button.

Also, when xdrop.ini does exist, the checkbox has no effect.

Using from the script only? Compiled file too?

Both. I guess I did not need to include my OS and AutoIt version when the EXE had the problem :">

Weird. My last test was from a Win2K...works fine.

@CyberSlug: Thanks CS, I will take a look when I arrive to my house.

Somebody has a similar problem too?

Hi Josbe,

Have been playing with v0.15 for a while and this is what I found.

- Like CyberSlug already mentioned the Interactive Mode does not work.

When I move the sliders the color is updated after I release my mouse button.

- Also the Lock Sliders checkbox does not work over here.

When I click it I can still move the sliders and change the color.

- Regarding the "Free Picker", it would be nice to have the main screen back when I select a color my clicking my mouse instead of SHFT-PAUSE.

PS: Please don't see this as comment.

Just want to help you make this wonderfull tool even better.

PS2: Just for the record, I use Win-XP pro SP1
