Color Picking in Linux

without comments

Which color-picking software do I use? I found out two options (both are GTK based):

  • gpick: The project also has binaries for popular Linux distros available.
  • gcolor2: This is part of the Debian repository.

Linux Screen Rulers

with 2 comments

Recently I have been working with a demanding Web Designer based client. She was insisting on pixel-level spacing and detail. Thus I wanted to have a Screen Ruler for measuring her template. I use Ubuntu-based Linux, and found the following tools in its repository:

For KDE users:


$ sudo apt-get install kruler

For GNOME users:


$ sudo apt-get install screenruler
