hmmm. making an eyedropper to get colors from the screen in general would
prove diffivult, at least i think that it would. somehow, you'd have to
grab priority on the pointer so that any clicking will be passed to your
app rather than whatever is clicked on. is this even possible? maybe
there's another way?

netscape has locked up on me before, rendering the pointer useless no
matter where on the screen i moved it. i assume that it was still under
the control of the locked netscape, so maybe it is possible for a program
to keep control over the pointer.

it doesn't seem likely that such an eyedropper can be done, especially not
by me :) but if anyone has any ideas as to how this can be done, i'll give
it a shot. it would be a fairly useful feature.


thanks
