PixelColor Watcher - Original work

I think I may have posted in wrong area beforehand...?

Anyway, this is an original application that I wrote that monitors a selected pixel on the screen for color change.

CTRL-ALT-S to select the pixel, CTRL-ALT-R to reset (or hit the button.)
Once a change is detected, a popup appears informing you. I find this useful for monitoring overview for ships coming/leaving, new chat, or if someone leaves or enters system.

See attached for vb.net source code and exe application.
I'm open to recommendations and changes as well to incorporate in future updates.

Do you have a bot to go along with this? Seems rather odd just for thepixel colors lots of apps out there doing this :)

No bot at this time, though would be easy to add some kind of macro into it. I couldn't find anything that would alert me when a pixel's color would change which was the motivation to write this app. Plenty of apps out there to tell you the color, but none to monitor and alert you, at least of what I could find.

I think there are a few macro tools that have a function that monitors a pixel or image matching. I'm sure you can script it to alert you.

I think it's called autohotkeys or something, there are others too.
