This is a major update for Colors - our handy color picker.

Colors now includes an Installer version with storing of user settings in the profile directory, and multilingual support with 4 already created translations: Italian, Romanian, Russian, Chinese Simplified.

It has undergone a migration from Delphi 2010 to Lazarus/FPC development environment, joining the recently migrated ReNamer and Hasher. This step allows implementation of great new features and securing future development.

Full list of changes in Colors 2.1:

* Added Chinese Simplified (zh_CN) translation file;
* Added Romanian (ro) translation file;
* Added Italian (it) translation file;
* Converted application project from Delphi 2010 to Lazarus/FPC;
* Added main menu and integrated Settings and Help button options;
* Use Settings.ini instead of <Application>.ini naming for settings;
* Store all user data in user profile directory for Installer version;
* Added multilingual support using PO files in Languages folder;
* Added Language menu;
* Added Russian translation file;
* Updated application icon to use a new version with clipped round corners;

I have a suggestion to make Colors better. Right now the cursor for the Pick from Screen function is a fixed size in pixels. How about making the cursor size variable and selectable in order to average the screen colors. Perhaps choices like 1x1, 3x3, 5x5, 7x7 and 10x10 pixels?

That's an interesting suggestion. Definitely goes onto the development list!

Variable color picker spot size and selection of an average color has been implemented in Colors 2.1.0.2 Beta.
