Colorpick is a color picker, which makes it easy to check text readability by letting you pick a background and foreground color and computing the contrast between them.
It lets you know if contrast is good enough according to http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast.
It also comes with a handy magnified-picker, which you can control with the cursor keys, for precise picking.
Finally, it lets you adjust colors and copy them to the clipboard as different formats.
⚠ Currently, working only under X11 based systems; under Wayland the contrast checker is working, the color picker selector doesn't work yet. ⚠

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is usually set to Release, though None might be a valid alternative.
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to /usr on most operating systems.
By default, Qt5 is used for build, otherwise change it by adding -D PROJECT_QT_VERSION=6.
cmake -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -W no-dev
cmake --build build --verbose
DESTDIR="$(pwd)/package" cmake --install buildUsing sudo make install is discouraged, instead use the system package manager where possible.
Translations was moved to qtilities-i18n organization for convenience.
To contribute language translations, you can use Qt Linguist and/or manually:
- Copy
translations/colorpick.tslanguage template totranslations/colorpick_<country-code>.ts, e.g.:colorpick_de.ts - Set the language in the file:
from
<TS version="2.1">to<TS version="2.1" language="de"> - Copy
translations/colorpick.desktop.yamllanguage template totranslations/colorpick_<your_country_code>.desktop.yaml, e.g.:colorpick_de.desktop.yaml - Translate them (see existing translations for reference).
- Create a Pull Request with your changes.
