Eyedropper color selection from anywhere
-
Suggestion: Would be nice to have an eyedropper tool that could select color from anywhere on screen. For example, placed images, generated math color modes (overlapped objects), shadows, gradients, effects... I suppose this tool option would just alter the color in the color Panel vs doing some action to any element. Perhaps it wasn't a standard toolbox tool, but instead a mini-eyedropper in the Color panel?
This came from trying to pre-select many colors from an image in order to have an internal palette.

Will get back on this one, but it looks doable.

In the new build (184), style picker tool:
- hold Shift and click on a point inside the document.
- this picks the pixel color from the document.
- holding Command will pick the object style.
The pixel color can only be picked from inside the VectorStyler document view.
It will not work from other locations of the screen. -
@vectoradmin I can't seem to get this to work.
I have an element selected that I want to be colored with a new color. I choose the (I) eyedropper / object style tool. I hover over an image in the same document and press Shift and click into the image. What am I doing wrong?EDIT: Ah hah.. I see now. I does work, but I'm not seeing any feedback of the color being "added" (updated) in the Color panel.

The color should be updated in the panel. This is a bug.
