[Release] MouseyMoo (Version 1.02) by Spunky on 11-29-2006 at 06:06 PM

Been working on a project (for at least the last couple of nights :p)

This script takes the mouse position and  displays it on screen as well as taking the colour of the pixel underneath the cursor and displaying that alongside it as both RGB and HEX.

I know this isn't an original concept to have a colour picker/grabber, but in terms of MP!L scripts, I've not seen this done so I thought I'd give it a "bash" lol

It includes a feature to "Pause" or "Freeze" the information so that the mouse can be freely moved without changing it. As moving the mouse would have to be moved over the button to pause it, all the information you want would be lost. I'm quite lucky that we now have the ability to use hotkeys. Pressing the WINKEY+SPACE will toggle whether or not the script is paused.

This will be available to download in the next few hours (I've got work and need to leave a few select people a copy to test for me).

Known "Bug": The script will not detect pixel colour properly when the mouse is hovering over a video (in Windows Media Player for example).
It will report back as being "R:0 G:0 B:1" or "000001"

EDIT: About the name... I just wanted something funnier than my usual ones :p

perhaps i misread something, but you can pause it with a hotkey? and not actually clicking pause?
because you move the mouse to click it losing the hex #

That looks pretty handy, I'll look forward to giving it a try... in a few hours. :)

RE: [Pre-Release] MouseyMoo by Spunky on 11-29-2006 at 11:43 PM

Released :D My testers were mysteriously offline when I got back ^o) I'm confident it's working up to a desired standard however.

Updated the first post with the attachment or click this link to download it.

As always, leave feedback :p

This might stupid, but I think it's because that text box is 37.5 in width and Windows doesn't like ddecimal places when drawing windows (Just what I've heard and I can't think of any other reason)

Try this download: (if it works, I will release as an update)

EDIT: This was confirmed and so this is now the latest version

Hmm.. fixed the bug, it was to do with my nVidia task bar transparency.

Although i have got another one, it mucks up the conversation window, and when i close it the background will go black o.O
EDIT: Also mucks up contact list :sad:

With MouseyMoo open:

EDIT: tried with The newer one too, still happens :sad:

Dazmatic, I think that bug is something to with the window being open to long and overflowing a buffer. It happened to my once but I thought it was some other software that was playing up.

I'll have to take a REAL technical look ^o)

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it "mucks up" all windows, not just WLM ones

I can't figure the bug out completley, but nothing "mucks up" as long as you close the window when it's no longer in use (auto-close feature?).  This is what makes me think it's some kind of buffer issue
