Picking

Menu bar and appearance

What's behind the mark, and how Dabbit looks.

The mark

Dabbit’s home is the four-petal mark in the menu bar. Click it for:

  • Pick, the same as ⌥⌘C
  • your most recent picks as a strip of swatches; click one to copy it
  • Copy as, the current color in any format
  • shortcuts to the Color Dock, the library and Settings, and Quit

Settings → General → Icon sets how the mark is drawn:

  • Monochrome: a template glyph that follows the menu bar, light or dark. The default.
  • Last pick: the mark takes the color of whatever you picked last, so the menu bar shows what’s on your clipboard.

Appearance

Dabbit follows the system appearance. Settings → General → Appearance forces Light or Dark if you want the windows to stay one way regardless of the system. Dropdown background slides the menu bar panel between a blurred and a solid backdrop.

Sounds

A pick plays a short sound. Eight sound packs are available under Sound pack (Minimal is the default), or turn Play sounds off.

Launch at login

Launch at login in Settings → General adds Dabbit to your login items so the shortcut works from the moment you sign in. It’s off by default.
