Does not work on Linux Mint #183

The issue seems to be related to mouse focus. You can select only within the boundaries of the app. As soon as you go outside the app boundary it looses focus and does not respond to left click. You can however right click to view the color code, but it can't be added to the pallet.

running: LMDE 4 (cinnamon)

Same problem here, on Gnome 3.36.

I loved this tool for many years, can believe it :(

I just upgraded my computer and am now running on Wayland - before it was the same version of manjaro but using Xwindows and gpick worked fine even in Gnome 3.36.

I think gpick doesn't work on Wayland - a problem most linux colour pickers seem to have.

So @Suprethreal and @yyuri are you using Wayland?

yyuri commented 3 years ago

Yes, I'm under latest Fedora, so on Wayland

Linux Mint 20.1 here. I just want a simple screen colour picker. This app drives me crazy. I can pick a colour from anywhere on the screen, but when I want to copy the HEX value somewhere it continues to sample and changes the HEX. Drives me nuts. Could it please allow users to highlight and copy the HEX value? i.e. once you've clicked on the colour you want, it resets the "Pick colour" button and lets you copy the HEX. Thanks.
