It displays both decimal RGB values (0\u2013255) and hex equivalents, along with live XY coordinates. The application includes buttons to copy the current mouse state to the clipboard or log it to an internal text field; logged data can be saved to a file, and screenshots can also be captured.\n\nIt is designed for developers planning GUI automation scripts\u2014particularly those using tools like PyAutoGUI\u2014who need to identify exact screen coordinates and color values for clickable elements or visual markers. You run it as a standalone tool (python3 -m mouseinfo) or call mouseinfo.mouseInfo() from your own code. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2020, so it may have compatibility issues with modern Python or operating system versions.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are working with legacy Python 2 or 3.7 codebases. The package is abandoned (last release 2020-03-27), has high install friction due to implicit GUI dependencies, and is likely to have compatibility issues with modern systems. For modern GUI automation coordinate discovery, consider actively maintained alternatives or platform-specific tools."},"id":"mouseinfo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mouseinfo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mouseinfo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mouseinfo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-03-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"MouseInfo","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An application to display XY position and RGB color information for the pixel currently under the mouse.
