----iiiidddd _i_d This option allows the user to specify a target
window _i_d on the command line rather than using
the mouse to select the target window.
----wwwwnnnnaaaammmmeeee _n_a_m_e
This option allows the user to specify that the
window named _n_a_m_e is the target window on the
command line rather than using the mouse to select
the target window.
----rrrrooooooootttt This option specifies that X's root window is
the target window.
----ddddiiiissssppppllllaaaayyyy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y
This option allows you to specify the server to
connect to; see _X(_1).
----mmmmoooottttiiiiffff Enable Motif color matching. When a colormap cell
is modified, its corresponding top and bottom shadow
colormap cells (if any) are also modified. This is
on by default.
----nnnnooooMMMMoooottttiiiiffff
Disable Motif color matching.

_C_p_i_c_k_e_r makes temporary changes to the installed colormap,
allowing the user to observe the effects. It's useful for
trying to pick that perfect color or find the appropriate
color combination for an application.
When cpicker first starts, it either uses the colormap of
the window specified, or asks you to click on the window
whose colormap you wish to edit. Then, it displays a grid
of the color cells in the installed colormap. Click on the
cell you wish to edit. Then, in the upper right there will
be a box containing the current color along with a label
showing the current RGB values in X11 hex format.
To adjust the current color you can use one of the nine
sliders, each controlling one of the RGB, HSV, or CMY values
for the current color. Or you can click on a cell displayed
in the palette to use its color. The palette button
underneath the hex label switches between the three

palettes: range, narrow, and wide. You can also click on
the hex label to directly enter new RGB hex values.
If you click on the "match" button, the palette will change
to the colors in the file /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt which are
closest to the current color. As you select these colors,
their names appear below the bottom buttons. Use the
palette button to return the palette to an ordinary
selection.
The "select" button allows you to choose another cell to
edit, the "cancel" button restores the current color to its
original value, the "restore" button restores all the cells
of the colormap to their original value, and the "quit"
button exits out of cpicker.

When clicking in a window to select its colormap, be sure to
click in the window contents. Clicking in window manager
real estate may or may not result in the correct colormap.
Motif color matching uses a heuristic to find the top and
shadow color pixels. There may be conflicts with unrelated
colors, or there may be other cells with the same RGB value.
