I like GetTheColor( ). My two cents may be worth something, maybe not. If you want color at the mouse pointer, it is worth mentioning that you should enter JawsCursor mode prior to executing GetTheColor. ________________________________ From: FreeLists Mailing List Manager <ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: jawsscripts digest users <ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 11:09 PM Subject: jawsscripts Digest V6 #20 jawsscripts Digest   Mon, 30 Jan 2012   Volume: 06 Issue: 020 In This Issue:       [jawsscripts] Re: Script for getting color at mouse pointer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Paul Magill" <magills@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Script for getting color at mouse pointer location? Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:18:24 +1100 Hi Saylien , the below script was compiled & tested in JAWS 10. It should work in JAWS 13. - just test & re-arange it for your needs...? Regards, Paul from Australia Script GetTheColor () var STRING sTextColor, STRING sBackgroundColor, STRING sTextToPaste LET sTextColor = ColorToRGBString (GetColorText ()) LET sBackgroundColor = ColorToRGBString (GetColorBackground ()) LET sTextToPaste = "The text color at the active cursor was " + sTextColor +"\R\N" + "The background color at the active cursor was " + sBackgroundColor + "\R\N" ; this part was not part of your request, but added to clarify the output LET sTextToPaste = sTextToPaste + "The active cursor was the " + stringChopRight (GetActiveCursorName (), 6) + "\R\N" + "The character at the active cursor was '" + GetCharacter () +"' \R\N" CopyToClipboard (sTextToPaste) SayString ("color details ready to paste") EndScript ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saylien Brown" <saybro@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 2:24 AM Subject: [jawsscripts] Script for getting color at mouse pointer location? I'm using the latest build of JAWS 13 under Windows 7 Home Edition. Really hoping someone has created a simple script for getting the Background and foreground color at the mouse pointer location. I want it to grab the RGB number(#000000) , not the name (Black.) It would copy this info to the clipboard, so all I need do is open notepad and paste the results there to know what the colors are. I'm going to attach this script to a shortcut key, so I can have quick access to it whenever I need this info.
