    Title: Windows 7 compatibility [2009-04-06]
    Hi,

    I love your color picker and I've been using it for years, but Windows 7 rendered it a bit useless since you can now drag the icons.

    Would you consider adding an option to active the picker on click abd to copy the color value on another click? I guess it would be enough to fool win7.

    Thanks,
    j.
