Post by: bam on August 06, 2005, 02:21:43 pm: looking for some software, or script, that will allow me to pick a color and give me the rgb value in hex, any ideas?

Post by: Cresho on August 06, 2005, 04:55:41 pm: i dont understand why the hex but cloverpaint lets you use a dropper to pick the color. Lets say you see something in the desktop pc

copy image to zaurus and open it in cloverpaint 1.05. you then click with dropper and you have the color you want.

there is another program that lets you use hex decimal.

I know this is a very old post, but this is the webpage I used to get the hex values for my application backgrounds.
RGB Calculator[/color]

You need to have javascript enabled for this to work.

EDIT: I tried saving the page to use offline, but it doesn't work offline.
I also looked for media types in Firefox, to see if I could copy the caculator, but it's not available to be copied or downloaded.
The online page works good though.
Doubleclick a given color in the list, and the surrounding box turns to that color and gives RGB & HEX values.
Moving the sliders also changes the colors and values.

Post by: Jon_J on June 14, 2006, 10:46:06 pm: Thanks xamindar
Gimp requires X\QT or pdaxrom
I think it would be nice to have a standalone RGB/HEX calculator that runs on Sharp/Cacko

I'll have to try it on my Zaurus, it won't work in windows.
I just had to reboot windows cause something to do with java made my firefox profile become unusable.

Post by: Jon_J on June 14, 2006, 11:02:13 pm: it doesn't work in Netfront on my Zaurus either, but all the text is there, just the calculator is missing.
Doesn't work in Picsel browser either, but I don't think Picsel has javascript, because the radar maps at intellicast won't zoom in Picsel

You ever get it to run in landscape mode?

When I tried it on my windows desktop, I right clicked the missing calculator and a java console popped up, and there were a lot of things/files missing. This is when my firefox acted up and I rebooted my windows PC

Title: Color Picker
Post by: Cresho on September 25, 2006, 05:10:50 am: okay, i figured i post this.

here it is...color picker only workable under Opera. Let me know if you find a problem with it.
Title: Color Picker
Post by: Jon_J on September 25, 2006, 09:38:32 am: This works really good! See first screenshot..
This is what I did to get it loaded in Opera.
I unzipped the 3 posted files into a directory that I named "color-picker"
(I left the directory structure intact that was in each zip file)
In opera, I navagated to to "start.html" and opened it. (this is inside the "color_scheme" folder)

On my Z, this is located here:
/hdd3/Documents/Web_Files/color-picker/color_scheme/start.html

OK, here is a really good tip, I'll pass along about Opera about navagating the filesystem.
If you use the "open local file" menu option in Opera, it takes ages to load, and it also takes forever to FIND your file. This is because the above option scans your entire system and HDD for files. It's hard to find a specific file, because, all files on your Zaurus are in one long list.
This is what I did to shorten this process substantially.
in the address bar in Opera, type this:
file:///hdd3/Documents
or this:
file//localhost/hdd3/Documents

After the file browser opened in Opera, I made a bookmark of it.
Now if I want to browse my filesystem, I just click that bookmark and the results are shown in the second screenshot below.

EDIT: Cresho, this is really fantastic! Much better than the online color page I posted previously.
Everything works just as it is supposed to. The Lighten/Darken scheme works great too!
Switching colors, by clicking on the large boxes or the color bar at bottom, is instantaneous!
It's really amazing that this little app/program works so swiftly, when there are lots of other programs for the Zaurus that are slow and cumbersome..
