SOLVE-SMART Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Hi @ioa747, what I like is the Loupe() and the general idea 👍 . What I don't like or at least just do not understand is, the HotKeySet("{END}", "ColorPicker") on line 35. Each time I press end, the picker image is freezed. Is this intended and if yes, why and for what? Besides that, good job 😀 . As I small suggestion regarding code improvement, I would say you could restructure your code a bit more.

You have right !! With HotKeySet the script flow was trapped in loop. I replace the code. Thank you very much for response and your suggestion! SOLVE-SMART 1 I know that I know nothing
kurtykurtyboy Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I really like the concept and overall functionality of this script! Being a little colorblind myself, I often use an app called "ColorPix" to grab colors from various places. It's great to see an AutoIt version that I might tweak to fit my needs. I was wondering why it was so slow to respond and found the "Sleep(50)" in the main loop. Since the TrayGetMsg() "automatically idles the CPU", it should be safe to remove the sleep here. After removing that line, the program then becomes much more responsive. Just a thought. It would also be nice to have some sort of indicator in the magnified window to show which color is selected, but that might be more effort than it's worth... This is what it looks like in the ColorPix app with the little crosshair icon.

That's why I tried to exploit it with some parameters but then i got comfortable with: I don't know if it caught your attention, cooperate with AutoIt I know that I know nothing
