In my previous post I have reviewed AdesClrPicker in Windows, and now I’m doing a review in Linux. I will be testing it under Ubuntu 7.04 – the Feisty Fawn.

Before I begin, I need to note that AdesClrPicker is not developed to run on Linux, it’s a Windows application. So if you encounter any kind of problems, bugs while running it on Linux Ades Design is not responsible, neither am I!

Here’s a short list of what we need:

1. Ubuntu 7.04 installed on your machine
2. Wine – Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
3. Latest Firefox version installed in Wine

I have tried using AdesClrPicker in native Linux applications and the picker can detect and pick color but it cannot send color codes to the AdesClrPicker which is running in Wine. Since it was developed for Windows users this kind of things incompatibility might happen. Just remember that AdesClrPicker does work fine in Windows OS. Having said that let’s go to the first step and run it:

we start AdesClrPicker:

blackman@blacky:~$ wine AdesClrPicker.exe

we start Firefox in wine:

blackman@blacky:~$ wine /home/blackman/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe

So, after starting Firefox in Wine we can now pick colors and make use of this wonderful and yet very small in size application – AdesClrPicker!
