[Interest] Color Picker (Pipette)

[norulez at me.com]

Hello,

I try to develop a small tool for my own to select a color of an widget/text/desktop which isn't the tool itself, a pipette like in photoshop or other tools. For example to select a color from an opened website in firefox or in IE.

The problem is that I need it cross platform, so I don't need WIN32 API and/or API calls for Linux/Mac

Does anyone have an idea on how to start?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
