Inline Color Picker

Write CSS, XAML and update colors faster.

The Inline Color Picker is a useful tool to quickly see which part of XAML goes where on the designer and change it in-place without switching attention and moving the mouse to the properties pane. Works with invalid XAML.

Quickly see which gradient color goes where:

· Fast and super lightweight – only 28KB

· Works in all code editors, C#, VB, etc. However the biggest benefit is for XAML, IMO.

· Easy as pie to use! (Actually, cutting pie is harder for me!)

Note: The color picker does not display with named colors. Maybe next version. :)

Visual Studio is awesome!

Feedback and contributions are more than welcome!
