DM-Pixie

May, 2010

DM-Pixie was built especially for webmasters and designers. Just point to a color and DM-Pixie will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSB values of the color. These values can be used to reproduce the selected color in your other programs. DM-Pixie will also show the current coordinates of your mouse pointer.

This is the definitely tool for you to work with colors.

How to use DM-Pixie

Simply run DM-Pixie and move the mouse cursor around the screen - you will see all the necessary information in DM-Pixie's window. That is it.

There are few additional features available to make your work with DM-Pixie more comfortable.

Copy HTML

Press Ctrl+Shift+C to copy a HTML value of a current color to Windows clipboard.

Magnifier

If you have to work with a complex image then point to the area around a pixel that you want and press Ctrl+Shift+Z. A static snapshot of this area will be open in the magnifier. The working area for a snapshot is 32x32 pixels with the magnification of 1:7.

Tips and tricks

Move the mouse cursor over Pixie's window to see information about configured hotkeys. Click and hold the left mouse button anywhere on the Pixie's window to drag it around the screen. When you open the color mixer, it will automatically select the current color.

The easiest way to aim at the magnify area is move the cursor with the arrow keys.
