<h2>How do I access the options menu?</h2>
32+
<p>
33+
Right‑click anywhere inside the Color Cop window to open the options menu.
34+
This menu contains settings such as sampling mode, WebSafe options, Always‑on‑Top,

<h2>How do I use the eyedropper to measure pixel distances?</h2>
39+
<p>
40+
Hold <b>Ctrl</b> while dragging the eyedropper. This sets the origin to (0,0).
41+
As you move the mouse, the coordinates show the distance from that point —
42+
useful for spacing and layout measurements.

<h2>Why does a measurement of 8×8 actually represent a 9×9 area?</h2>
46+
<p>
47+
When using relative measurements, the zero row and zero column are included.
48+
So a reading of <code>(8, 8)</code> corresponds to a 9×9 area.

<h2>How do I add a color to the Color History?</h2>
62+
<p>
63+
Right‑click while using the eyedropper to push the current color into the
64+
history list. You can click any swatch to reselect it later.
65+

<h2>How do I convert between RGB and Hex values?</h2>
68+
<p>
69+
Color Cop automatically converts between RGB decimal values and Hex formats
70+
depending on the selected mode (HTML, Delphi, Visual Basic, Visual C++,
71+
PowerBuilder, Clarion, RGB Int, RGB Float). Simply enter a value or pick a
72+
color with the eyedropper.

Enable the “Minimize to systray” option in the right‑click options menu.

When minimized, Color Cop will appear as an icon in the system tray instead
79+
of the taskbar.

84+
Use the right‑click options menu to toggle “Snap to WebSafe” or “Detect WebSafe.”
85+
When snapping is enabled, non‑WebSafe colors are automatically converted to the
86+
nearest WebSafe value.

92+
to the standard Windows crosshair for color selection.

<p>
97+
