One of the coolest, cutest little utilities, Pixie, accurately and reliably
picks up color on screen and displays RGB and other values. Free, small,
easy...

....and evidently incompatible with Vista, according to two clients who have
tried it.


Can anyone confirm this incompatibility (perhaps there is a workaround), and
if confirmed, has anyone found an alternate product for grabbing color
values from screen images that works with Vista?

Many thanks...

We usually use Eyedropper but Pixie works here in Vista (ultimate) too. I do
recall getting an installation error message (May not have installed
correctly) but it works fine.
