ColorLab v3

By | 2002-06-01

The previous ColorLab (still on this site) was a color picker/sampler/mixer that displayed HTML & VB Hex codes (among other things…). This one does that PLUS you can now: >> Save, Load, Print & Export your favorite colors >> Generate HTML Color charts from your favorites >> Load a GIF or JPG and see it with your color as a background (yes, transparency works) >> Find the ‘average’ color of the loaded GIF or JPG. It also demonstrates how to move ‘floating toolbar’ window when the main window is moved (not MDI windows). Plus, I added some simple ‘help’ pop-ups and re-labeled the controls to make it easier to use. Again, thanks to Matt Hart & others here whose work I built on for parts of this.
