Check this out! Color picker/grabber, color harmony designer, etc.

Free, supports RYB (not RGB but Red, YELLOW, Blue) model!

For me this is really cool looking toy! :jumpclap

Downloaded it and installed it - You need all the gdk dll files - so i copied all these from another program and uploaded them here. the size is roughly 5.5 mb -

Just unzip them to the C:\Program Files\Gpick folder and the program will run - pretty nifty little application

Oh yea..now it works I was missing the libcairo-2.dll file.

Thanks Rod I downloaded the file you linked for us. Thanks a lot.

May I ask how do you know where to look to find files a person may need to fix corrupt or get missing files that are needed to run a program any program for that matter? I seem to run into this off and on since I am using windows OS XP 32 bit.

Thanks

Lianam, there isn't any easy way to find missing files for any OS. In MS Windows, unless there is documentation, you'd need to be inhumanly good at debugging to find out exactly what is missing. That's because there may be nothing but error messages, which many in many applications are less than informative.

In Linux, each distribution's repositories and package managers try to maintain dependencies, but if you install applications outside 'official' channels, situation is the same; documentation is needed.

Actually, the 'ldd' command will list all dynamic libraries required by a program:

That is true for Linux when you install a binary.
If you install from a tarball or git you have to do either autogen.sh or configure.
Missing libraries will be found and you get notified so you can install them.

Thanks everyone for the information. Now I know what I can do if I run across a missing libraries again.

I hope my beginner questions help out others too.
