ShareX is not stealth, it creates "ShareX.exe.log" in AppData (C:\Users\UserNAme\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CLR_v4.0\UsageLogs).

Easily my favorite color picking app, mainly for the compact size, any key locking, and one-click copying of values.

@CD: You will have discovered by now that ZZoom offers you the option to copy an image of just its window content to the clipboard by pressing 'i' while the app is in focus. Clicking the '?' on the menu bar, one can see the command keys. This capture function is this app's weak point for me, and honestly I'm wondering how it saves settings between sessions. Anyone?

My only issue with this app is that it does not work with Semi-transparent windows. This makes it a bit of a boon to use with screen rulers. |
