How do you get the alpha picker? It’s not appearing for me.

Wade,

I’m curious what sans-serif compressed-looking font you’re using on the page for the title and the download button.

Thanks,
Kim

Awesome utility! I just found this today. Unfortunately, I’m unable to get alpha values to pick. I’m trying to copy semi transparent colors as rgba from Photoshop (CS3) as well as from Safari. Is there a trick to getting the alpha to register? Thanks.

I use this daily. When I grow up (i’m 15 now) My dream is to work for panic!

Great dev indeed, sthg I’ve been waiting for so long.
Hence I’m so frustrated not to succeed in using it!!
For instance, the background color of http://www.lecarbone14.fr is reported as rgb(173, 176, 157) by the Safari Inspector and as rgb(157, 160, 138) by DCP…
Maybe that I’ve missed a step, yet I can’t see which.
Needless to say, any help is welcome.

@Will P, the RGB mode will output RGBA if the color in the picker contains a non 1.0 alpha value.

@Yuji, I will investigate the gcc warning, in the mean time, do you happen to know if Clang warns about the conversion?

This looks great! I have one idea: Could you add RGBA, which would output rgba(Red, Green, Blue, Alpha)? It’s not a big deal, I have no idea if I’ll be using it because I just stumbled on this tool, but it seems useful.

Hi, thanks for awesome panel!
Let me add another voice to the 64-32 conversion issue.
What Steven said is also true with NSColor.
[NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed:0.665 green:0.052 blue:0.569 alpha:1.000]
generate four warnings (ugh!) when I compile the code in 32 bit mode, with
the “warn about implicit 64 bit to 32 bit conversion” setting in GCC on.
Please add “f” after each of the numbers, thanks.

One problem I’ve noticed: With UIColors, the template is slightly wrong.

It generates colors like this:
[UIColor colorWithHue:0.604 saturation:0.771 brightness:0.863 alpha:1.000]

However, these parameters are floats not doubles. So it should technically generate:
[UIColor colorWithHue:0.604f saturation:0.771f brightness:0.863f alpha:1.000f]

There’s probably few enough people that have the 64-to-32 bit warning turned on that this might not be worth the confusion.
