(*) Desktop colorpicker mode requires you to install the free UI.Vision RPA software XModule. This native app is available for Mac, Linux and Windows (Download link: https://ui.vision/rpa/x/download). The native app is required to take desktop screenshots. But you only need to install this app _if_ you want to pick colors from desktop apps or Chrome special pages! For the regular web page color picking, installing the helper app is not required.
