Works for me on Wayland. Are you using Wayland or X11?

Can you run `journalctl --follow --user --unit=plasma-plasmashell.service` in a terminal window to see logs for plasmashell, and then click on the dropper button again? Let me know if anything is printed to the terminal window when you click it.

Found the reason why it didn't work. The eefects were completely turned off . It works with the effects enabled.
imho - it's not obvious, it wasn't written anywhere in the supplement that effects are needed

thanks

systemsettings > Display and Monitor > Compositor > [off] Enable on startup

Should probably disable the picker button when compositing is disabled and show some text in the tooltip.
