Electron Color Picker

Introduction

A color picker tool built on top of Electron and Angular. It's also a project I use to learn Electron.

Features

• Pick colors from your screen. (Support multiple screen)
• Copy color text

Development

Read known issues before you getting start.

Requirements

Angular CLI needs Node 10.9 or later.

If you want to use angular-cli globally:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Getting Started

Install dependencies with npm :

npm install

Rebuild Electron modules:

npm run electron:rebuild-modules

Start development with:

npm start

Other commands

To run application in browser:

npm run electron:serve

Then open http://localhost:4200/

Build

I only tested build process on Windows. For Mac and Linux will update later.

On Windows:

npm run electron:windows

Known Issues

• When you first time start your development with npm run start, the color picker function will not work as expect. If you start pick color from the screen, it will always stay at "Color pick mode". To solve this problem, use win + d exit to desktop and open Color Picker window then restart development session with ctrl + r.
