kcolorchooser must disable Desktop Effects like "Dim Inactive" when selecting Color picker

[Murz]

Binary package hint: kcolorchooser

I have using KDE 4 and "Dim Inactive" effect in Desktop Effects (It is gray out inactive windows).
And very often I need to get a color from some window. When I starting kcolorchooser, all other windows goes gray out. And when I selecting Color picker and try to get the color, I didn't get the color exactly like in window, I get the grayed out equivalent!
I think that kcolorchooser must disable "Dim Inactive" effect when pressing color picker button.

Dim Inactive effect helps me to detect active window on my big display and I use it very well all the time.
But for correctly get the color from the screen I need to do a long list of actions:
1. open system settings
2. disable effect "Dim Inactive"
3. switch to kcolorchooser
4. get the correct color
5. go back to system settings
6.enable "Dim Inactive" back

Or another variant is to add "suspend composing/resume composing" button into kcolorchooser window.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
