Google Chrome color picker isn't responding - google-chrome-devtools

Google Chrome color picker isn't responding. I tried re-installing and resetting Chrome. How can this be resolved?

"Reset devtools" doesn't fix the issue. I am not entirely sure what the exact cause of this bug is, but the only fix available will need to be done in an update. I could not find it in the code itself, although I didn't spend much time looking.
The main issue is that when your dev tools are docked to the bottom of the window, then the color picker will not show. It will load though, but the interface wont show. More than likely it is either in the wrong layer, or has some issue with its actual display, as no errors are thrown.
Anyway, the reason resetting dev tools works is because the default setting is to dock the dev tools to the right side of the screen (presumably, their testing showed most users use a wide screen, multiple screen, setup; as a result, there is room on the side of the screen).
If you, like me, use dev tools docked to the bottom, then in order to see the color picker, you need to change the dev tool temporarily to be docked to the right side of the screen. This does not require the settings to be reset, just simply change the docking position.

if your color picker not working on your mouse pointer, then you have to change your display settings, if your display settings are at scale 125 or more then your color picker won't work in any of the browsers, if you change your display setting to 100% your color picker will automatically start working

Changing the window size brings back the color picker. If the window is full screen size, get out of full screen size.
The solution that worked for me is:
Get out of full screen mode (Un-maximize window).
Reduce the window size, specially the width.
Docking the dev-tools to right side, Scaling the display, Lowering display resolution also brings the color-picker back as all of these affects the browser window size. Hopefully this bug will be addressed soon.

Open the inspect elements -> go to settings -> Preferences -> scroll down to the end you will see button "Restore defaults and reload" -> click on it and it will work

I had the same issue on Chrome 108.0.5359.98 on Arch for a long time now.
The problem was fixed by simply unchecking one of the experiments in DevTools - Settings - Experimets - Enable color picking outside the browser window.

scale your display settings to 100 % and again re scale to 125%(recommended).

For me chaning the Devtools zoom size worked not the webpage size.
Ctrl + Mouse wheel zooms in or out on the dev tools dock.

The problem is quite simple. You are unable to use the color picker because you have enabled the mobile view or any other device view
and, you got the answer, you just need to close the device toolbar and you are good to go.
Hope that works 😃

I am not able to preview the icons on vscode while browsing?

As seen in the picture I'm browsing the icons but none of them are shown.
Is there a change in a new update or am I missing something here> it used to show the icons while I browsed.
There should be an arrow appearing when you hover on the right side of the tooltip stating "read more". Simply click once and therefore the icons preview should always appear.
Pressing the Ctrl + space in windows can show and hide the icon
press ctrl+space two times,
1)to open icon menu
2)to preview the icon
go to preferences settings and search for "previewlsp" its a dart setting change it to true and restart VsCode then you will be able to preview icons.
I had the same issue. I maximized the VSCode editor, closed the navigation pane on left, and aligned the line most left then icon preview comes into the screen as you can see in the picture.
I don't know the root cause of the problem but the above scenario fixed my issue and it works now. It might be a Flutter/Dart extension-related topic.
If I would find the real root cause and proper solution, I will update my answer. I hope this workaround works for you too.

It works for me with setting Dart Preview Flutter Ui Guides setting
Go to Setting and search "preview"
Go to Dart part(see the left part)
check Dart:Preview Flutter Ui Guides

Chrome DevTools color picker eyedropper isn't working

I have this Chrome DevTools color picker issue where the eyedropper is not working when I change the dock position to bottom. The default setting is on the right side and the color picker eyedropper is working fine but not when I change the position. Is there any setting for this? Cause I am unable to find it from DevTools settings.
1. Default Color Picker Eyedropper - dock to right
2. Dock to bottom
Go to settings > experiments > and uncheck "Enable color picking outside the browser window" this should solve the problem. It worked for me.
I had the same issue, for me it happens only when I use multiple screens
So if I have tab in the left screen and use Chrome DevTools color picker eyedropper isn't working but when I move the browser tab in to the right screen and started working again.
Also you can check this answer for a similar issue here: Google Chrome color picker isn't responding
This might help solve your problem it's quite simple. Make sure the edit 'pencil' looking icon located right next to the circle is activated in your Chrome DevTools. Clicking on it triggers the color picker hover tool on and off.

chrome developer tools restore window position

I undocked the dev-Tools of chrome so that when pressing F12, another window opens, showing the DEV-Tools.
Problem: For I-don't-know-what-reason the window moves to a random position whenever it's opened. currently it moved so far, that its coordinates are fully outside of my desktop. It always moves at least somewhere nearly outside my desktop.
Question: How to restore the window positioni if it's not reachable for grabbing?
How to avoid this happening again?
I had the same problem, turns out it was because I had multiple monitors and one of them had display scaling set to 125%, when I set it back to 100% the developer tools windows always appeared where I could see it entirely.
You can change the display scaling by right clicking the desktop and then clicking Display settings, look for the setting Change the size of text, apps, and other items, if it's already at 100%, click on another monitor at the top and check again.
Of course you might not like having the monitor at 100% scaling (everything will be smaller), but at least it works!

Hide top panel when inspecting elements

When we use Chrome developer tools for inspecting elements, top panel will show up where we can choose which device chrome will emulate, what network throttle setting, there will also be a ruler top and sideways... is there an option to temporarely remove all that?
I work on laptop and my screen isn't as big as I would like to, and when inspecting elements, it becomes even smaller, and at lot of times I don't need those options.
There is only a button for hiding media queries and it helps a bit.
It is the result of mobile emulation mode. There is a small button on the left side of the menu bar. It looks like a phone. You can click on and switch off the emulation mode.
In the main Dev tool window, click on the kebob menu and then Toggle device Toolbar.

How to turn off netbeans welcome screen?

The screen which shows whenever i start Netbeans is very annoying, and among the hundreds of options I can't find the one which turns it off?
To disable the welcome screen, all you have to do is uncheck the box at the bottom that says "Show on startup".
(If I misunderstood you and you were asking about the splash screen, you can disable it by passing the -nosplash parameter.)
It could be complicated for 4k screen users, but it can be done in "blind" mode, by using TAB button to jump through menu and ENTER to uncheck the box.
As noted in another answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/35648606/1277576), that checkbox is impossible to see on high resolution screens (it is completely invisible).
The solution I found is to specify a small font size at Netbeans startup (using --fontsize 14 as parameter), disable the checkbox and then restore the size I've been using all along, in my case --fontsize 20.
