Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources I have using KDE 4 and "Dim Inactive" effect in Desktop Effects (It is gray out inactive windows). And very often I need to get a color from some window. When I starting kcolorchooser, all other windows goes gray out. And when I selecting Color picker and try to get the color, I didn't get the color exactly like in window, I get the grayed out equivalent! I think that kcolorchooser must disable "Dim Inactive" effect when pressing color picker button. Dim Inactive effect helps me to detect active window on my big display and I use it very well all the time. But for correctly get the color from the screen I need to do a long list of actions: 1. open system settings 2. disable effect "Dim Inactive" 3. switch to kcolorchooser 4. get the correct color 5. go back to system settings 6.enable "Dim Inactive" back
Or another variant is to add "suspend composing/resume composing" button into kcolorchooser window.
This is indeed annoying. I'm using KDE 4.4 RC1
