"I'd be lost without it."
Version: Pixie 4.1
Pros
I've been using Pixie for about five years from XP through Vista to 7. It's one of the first apps to go on a new machine. As tiny as it is, it keeps getting better with new features.
Cons
None that I've found. It's clumsy with Microsoft products because they don't accept HTML code input. Microsoft color picker is inherently awkward.
Summary
Precise, pixel-perfect color matching in HEX, HTML, RGB, CMYK AND HSV. I especially appreciate the hotkey copy function for HTML values.
I love that it operates independently, across other apps, so I can grab a color from a webpage and pop it into Photoshop or a web editor.
The new color mixer and magnifier options rock. -
"FANTASTIC !!!!!!!"

It does exaclty what is advertised - allows you to know the exact color code of any onscrenn object in a millisecond! Never have to guess again - it really simplifies web and print design color code crossover issues as well.
Cons
None whatsoever.
Summary
Small, easy, delivers, makes design life easier.

"Just what I was looking for"
Version: Pixie 4.1

It does just what I need.

Has some problem with Show/Hide. If you let it get out of sight (To StatusBar), you won't be able to use it anymore till you restar your computer.
Also the letters are very small. With a 15' screen monitor I needed to use a lent.Summary
Very necessary and very useful. But tends to disappear just when you need it.

"Loved it when I used XP"
Version: Pixie 4.1
Pros
Since XP is almost gone, though fondly remembered, it is almost useless to list the pros of this nifty little program. Uses almost no resources, works flawlessly.
Cons
It does work with Vista or Windows 7.
Summary
Oh, how I wish they'd update this to work with Vista/Windows 7. I miss it, and haven't found anything I like as much.
Now that Pixie is fully compatible with Windows 7, I really love it!
