Comments and Reviews
Just look for the picker icon in the bottom right corner, and it will do the work, I do agree it could be improved with a helper dialog when starting the app the first time, but it gets the job done pretty well, I'm using it in Ubuntu 22.04
Horrible. Its like the devs went ahead and designed this intricate interface/system without ever testing it in real world conditions with real life users.
Its a color-picker: this should be a simple thing anyone can sit down and just use. The functionality is uncomplicated: pick a color. Copy the code if necessary.
Apparently its rocket science to do that with this app. Ive used a lot of color pickers over the years. Never have I needed to look at a help file to figure out how to use one. And even then, after reading and using the keyboard shortcuts... its just so awkward, in a situation where click/right click should be all thats needed.
Give Chroma.dev a try!
