Color code in the menu bar

What it does

Color Peeker is a realtime digital color meter that sits quietly in your menu bar. It shows the hex code of the color under your mouse pointer. You can also turn on Copy on Right Click, so that when you right click, the color code is copied immediately.

I cannot make the thing show the color popup, copy a hex code, or offer me ANY other form of GUI other than "Quit" and "Right click to copy color" (which has no change on utility regardless of its setting). I cannot set a hot keey, there is no preferences panel... nothing. I just see the hex code of whatever I'm hover over in the Menubar.So why 3 stars? Because I belive it's totally fixable and it's a GOOD IDEA; Dev(s): help a brother out? Thanks for the review brother. The "Copy on Right Click" option should work as expected now. There are also a few new features in the new version. Try them out :) I cannot make the thing show the color popup, copy a hex code, or offer me ANY other form of…from apps.apple.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
