On linux it works perfectly - the GIMP window doesn't even loose the focus. If colour picking still doesn't work (check that if you click out of the window and go back to GIMP, if the foreground color was set to the right color) you are welcome to open a bug report at the GIMP bugzilla https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP If it doesn't work, then that's more likely a bug in GTK+ then.

[Gimp-developer] pick color anywhere on the screen ? not quite
Open the colors dialog (Windows - Dockable Dialogs - Colors). On the bottom of the panel, there is a button with a screen and an eyedropper over it. The floating tooltip says: Click the eyedropper, then click a color anywhere on your screen to select that color. Is this true on Linux ? (I cannot check) On Windows (Vista 64, GIMP 2.7.1, classic mode UI): - it does not work on the image itself or GIMP UI, in that a click anywhere on the image will set the foreground and/or background to black (has set both at different moments, but could not undesrtand why the one, or why the other) - when the mouse cursor goes off the GIMP UI, the eyedropper turns to normal mouse cursor, thus not being able to pick anything Apart from that, the select word is confusing, I think it would be better pick instead (assuming it should work as stated here http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-content.html ) Cristi -- Cristian Secară http://www.secarica.ro ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
