Powertoys: Color Picker QOL

Created on 5 Aug 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: microsoft/PowerToys

This is a really nice feature that well implemented but I find myself missing a small zoomed box of the hovered area so you can see exactly what pixel is being selected like in instant eyedropper. http://instant-eyedropper.com
I miss it enough to often find myself using instant eyedropper over powertoys.

@KlassyKat You can use the scrollwheel to open up a window that does this :).

Oh wow, nice to know! But really hard to discover. Maybe you can write a hint into the UI?.... @niels9001

I agree, maybe like a delayed time little label in a box that says "Try scrolling to see exactly which pixel you are selecting!" or something like that :) Would be cool if there was an option to enable a "grid" on each pixel in the image as well, if thats something thats possible

really hard to discover. Maybe you can write a hint into the UI?

Absolutely. Basic functionality should be clear from the start.

I have added this feedback to our tracker issue: #5379. If you have any additional feedback there that would be great.
