FireFox 2 and Solution for Broken ColorZilla

I was using colorzilla extensively until I upgraded to firefox 2 and all of a sudden i found myself without it and taking screenshots and pasting into fireworks all day.. then copying the hex code into eclipse. It was a very messy process which was made worse by the fact the fireworks isn't exactly the slickest app on an intel mac.

However I found this very interesting article Easy color Picking for Mac and by putting this script into my /library/scripts and turning on the script menu via /applications/applescript/AppleScript Utility I am now able to use a color picker in any application which has streamlined the entire process.

Seriously I am actually going to make a cf post soon...

David Sirr's Gravatar Hey Rob, don't know if you've seen it already, but when i was setting up the new mac laptop i saw there was a cool colourpicker build into mac OSX, in applications/utilities/ digitalcolormeter

i just keep it on the dock for when i need it... it'll tell you what's under the mouse and you can get it display as hex

John Hodorowicz's Gravatar For those windows users out there looking for a quality color picker I highly recommend Pixie by Nattyware. Its a great app that lets you grab colors from anything on screen. It even has a zoom capture feature so you can get colors down to a specific pixel.

Taki's Gravatar The Mac digital color meter does not work in Firefox which is what this article is about. Doesn't anyone read?
