Simple User Interface:

Upon launch, the Color Assistant minimizes to the system tray and can be accessed by clicking the tray icon or using a configured key combination. The application displays a small UI in the system tray area when selecting colors, and users can easily exit by clicking the Exit button or pressing the ESC key.

Customization Options:

Users have the flexibility to customize the default global shortcut to ensure easy access to the Color Assistant at any time. This customization may require editing the configuration file, which can be done conveniently from the system tray menu.
