it picks one time from the whole desktop. actually, that whole dialog has pretty much replaced all of the other color dialogs for me. it can be docked, i keep mine docked to the toolbox. it has many dialogs within that one dock -- all of the color dialogs. it has taken a little while to change my workflow to use a one time color picker and to avoid the other color dialogs. the one useful feature that the Toolbox color dialog has is the color memory, but i am surprised at how much i do not actually use that. i think that i have even taken the old gimp color picker out of my <Toolbox> lately. which you can do via <Toolbox>/Dialogs/Tools -- it works with the viewable toggle the same way that the Layers Dialog works. it sounds like you have been using gimp for a long while. perhaps you might spend a few minutes to look at those dialogs. some of them are really cool and completely different from anything gimp had before. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
