Description Rosetzky Cedric 2008-06-02 23:04:32 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          GCC-4.2.4 
OS:                Linux

No matter where of what I click on, the color-picker applet always displays the #003039 color.
Comment 1 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2008-06-03 08:09:48 UTC 
Confirmed here. It also happens with color picker from Desktop Configuration dialog but NOT from KColorChooser (Cedric please confirm for the background color picker from "Desktop Settings") so I think it is plasma-related.

Cedric: what video driver?
Comment 2 Rosetzky Cedric 2008-06-03 08:20:26 UTC 
It's the Nvidia video driver. And yes, I confirm the background color pickers problem.

Also, I don't think this problem is related to the video driver since it used to work a few monthes ago.
Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-06-12 13:17:56 UTC 
this is do to argb visuals screwing up the ability to grab random pixel values from screen. it isn't a plasma bug but an upstream problem (haven't tracked it down to whether it's Qt or x.org yet, but it's not plasma, libplasma or the colour chooser plasmoid)
Comment 4 Pino Toscano 2008-06-15 00:10:36 UTC 
I agree it is a low-level bug, but I can workaround it (hopefully).
