Real-time swatch update while picking a color

meduzen opened this issue · 1 comments

While we’re hovering another color in search for another color, the swatch stays the same.

It would be very handy to receive instant feedbacks (color + values + contrast ratio) while hovering the screen. Real-time data will speed up decision processes based on color comparison and WCAG compliance.

Hey @meduzen. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the underlying Apple-provided API, NSColorSampler. You can learn a little more about it (and, if you're keen, request Apple add additional functionality) here: #45 (comment)

Going to close this one as it's outside the scope of the app, currently, but fingers crossed it'll be possible one day. Thanks for flagging.
