Description Nick Cross 2019-11-14 06:38:47 UTC 
SUMMARY

Feature Enhancement : it would be very useful to have a focus follows mouse mode  i.e. similar to gpick where I can click on other windows for them to have active focus and it will follow my cursor showing current colours.

The real problem here occurs when windows in the background are dimmed. Activating 'pick screen color' mode don't allow Alt+Tab window switching and we are unable to capture the real color, furthermore none of the system shortcuts work in that mode (window minimizing etc.). Maybe the biggest issue is that *workaround* - 'Color picker' widget don't implement hovered color preview.
