KoBar is a versatile platform designed to host a rich ecosystem of plugins, seamlessly integrating powerful tools directly into your daily workflow. As a core extension for this ecosystem, Color Picker transforms KoBar into an advanced on-the-fly color sampling and management tool, directly integrated with your OS clipboard and custom palettes.
The Color Picker plugin is an essential utility for designers and developers using KoBar. It allows you to grab colors directly from your screen using a native EyeDropper tool, convert between various color formats (HEX, RGB, HSV, HSL), algorithmically generate color harmonies, and manage custom palettes without ever leaving your workflow or opening a separate heavy application. Built natively for KoBar, it offers zero-lag interaction and smart window positioning.
- Screen Color Picking: Utilize the native EyeDropper API to pick any color from your screen across multiple monitors.
- Color Format Conversion: Instantly view and copy colors in HEX, RGB, HSV, and HSL formats.
- Harmonies Generator: Automatically calculate Analogous, Complementary, Split-Complementary, Triadic, and Tetradic color schemes based on your current selection.
- Palette Management: Create, edit, duplicate, and delete custom color palettes directly inside the plugin.
- Clipboard Integration: Seamlessly pipe picked colors directly into KoBar's clipboard FIFO queue, making it perfect for rapid color scraping.
- Smart UI & Glassmorphism: Features dynamic bounded-drag capabilities to ensure the popup never escapes the viewport, styled with a sleek glassmorphism design that adapts to your OS.
Once installed into your KoBar application:
- Open the Color Picker from your KoBar sidebar.
- Click the EyeDropper icon to sample any color from your screen.
- The selected color will instantly populate the custom color wheel, providing format conversions and harmonies.
- If Auto-Copy is enabled, the picked color will be automatically added to your KoBar clipboard slots for immediate use elsewhere.
- Use the Palettes tab to save your favorite colors into organized collections for later access.
