Pixel Color.NET

Pixel Color.NET is a time-saver tool for programmers, to help you on your web or software design development. It translates the current pixel color that you see on the screen, to the selected format syntax.

The color can be represented in these formats:

• RGB
• ARGB
• WEB
• HEX
• HSL
• Win32
• Delphi
• C# Hexadecimal
• C# Decimal
• VB.NET Hexadecimal
• VB.NET Decimal
• Visual Studio’s Grid Hexadecimal
• Visual Studio’s Grid Decimal

You can control the application behavior using these hotkeys:

• Control+C: Copy the current format representation to clipboard.
• Control+D: Show the window magnifier.
• Control+E: Enable/Disable the app (useful to pause on the current pixel)
• Control+A: Put the application window on top-most of the other windows

The window magnifier has also some hotkeys to control the zoom level, with + and - keys.

The application has a little panel where are shown some controls like a Button, a Textbox and a ProgressBar, this is intended to let you preview how will look the current color applied to those controls.
