MiniPicker

I just got tired of opening PhotoShop everytime I wanted to get a hex-value for a color and I never liked "DigitalColor Meter.app" that comes with mac os x. So one afternoon I spent an hour building this small but useful, for me anyway, application. And thanks to Mårten Lundin it also looks fantastic.

Don't forget that the color well also supports the functionality of "dropping" a color by clicking the magnifying glass. Without that functionality this application would just be half as useful.

Also worth mentioning is that the hex value automatically gets copied to the clipboard.

If you've been, or are right now, in the situation where you want to create an animated gif with more than 256 colors or/and that supports alpha channels? Then this javascript might be of interest. By using the power of png and javascript you can create nice animations without writing a single line of code.

Just import the javascript, give your png images the same name except for the appending order number ie image1, image2, etc, and embed the first image of the animation with a specific rel tag and you're ready to go.

Animation with 4 frames:
<img src="image1.png" rel="pnganimation[4] />

Also supported:
* Custom framerate
* Custom number of loops

Demo

NOTE: IE6 transparancy is NOT implemented in this solution. Blame Microsoft, not me.

I was surprised by how many that are having problems with downloading a file when all they have is the URL to it. Alot of people I know create a new HTML-file every time, create a link, open the HTML-file in a browser, right/ctrl-clicked the link to finally download it. I was one of them and I found it to be very time consuming and annoying. That's when I created this really simple Widget for downloading a file to the desktop just by entering the URL for it and pressing enter. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was simply sick of dealing with pages with loads of media files or links to files and wanted the ability to quickly download all the files referred to on a page, both inline and linked to. Do you recognize any of these situations?

* You get to a page that is basically a "folder view" with 100 of links to files and you have to click every one of them or right/ctrl-click and download every one to be able to view them.

* You get to a page with an inline video and you want to download it. Unfortunately there is no way of downloading the video straight from the page which forces you to go into the source and start looking for the filename.

* You enter a gallery full of images that you want to save to your hard drive all of them being forced to right/ctrl-click all of them to be able to download them. I was in all of those situations ALL the time and the solution for it is a Mac OS X Dashboard Widget that used the XMLHttpRequest object in JavaScript to download the source, Regular Expressions to find the file referrences and the terminal program Curl, built in to BSD and OS X, to download the individual files. Quite simple isn't it? :) And not to forget, Mårten Lundin did all the design work.
