RGBhelper script

[lnminente]

I have written a small script for helping with the skinning work. Many color pickers stores the color in hexadecimal, but not with the format 123,124,125 to do a fast search or paste it directly between "" in a musicbee skin file.

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Z it picks and copies the colour under cursor.
When needing more precision run your favourite color picker configuring it autocopying to clipboard with the usual html hex code format. This script watches the clipboard and when finds a string of 7 chars starting with #, converts it to rgb and stores it in the clipboard again with the 123,124,125 format.

Included sources and executable file. I'm not responsible for any damage, try it at your own risk.
