# Eyedropper
|
|
|
|
Simple and convenient tool to identify the hex value of any color on the screen. Simply click on the icon:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your mouse will become a crosshair. Click on any color you desire and both the color and the hex value will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should you select the color of your bar, you will not be able to see the icon (as the icon and the bar are the same color), but you will still be able to read the hex value

|
|
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/eyedropper
|
|
full_text=<span foreground="#ffffff"></span>
|
|
instance=#ffffff
|
|
markup=pango
|
|
#CLIPBOARD=true
|
|
#SWAY=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Change the "foreground" value in "full_text" to change the color of the initial eyedropper icon
|

Two environment variable configuration options are supported:
|
|
|
|
1. CLIPBOARD=true - Copy the color value to the clipboard in addition to updating the string
|
|
2. SWAY=true - Do color picking in a way that works when running in SwayWM (Wayland)
