Colour Picker question

Hi,

The GIMP colour picker is great but is only able to pick colours from images open in GIMP. I am looking for a tool that can pick a colour from anywhere on the screen. There are plenty available for Windows but I have yet to find one for Linux.

At present I can do this with the fairly cumbersome process of acquiring the entire screen into GIMP, picking the colour and closing the acquired image. Rather cumbersome.

I wonder if it would be possible for the GIMP colour picker to be extended to allow picking colours from outside GIMP at some stage.

Thanks.

What Distro are you using?
Using KDE under Mandrake 8.2 (other distros are probably similar) click on *K* (left in the Panel) then Multimedia > Graphics > Color Chooser. Click on the *Dropper*, click on your target color - away you go...............

I am using SuSE 7.2 but I don't use KDE. It is installed though so if I know the name of a specific KDE program I can run it. You wouldn't happen to know what the name of that color chooser program is, would you?

Thanks.
