Pixel Change Detector

Pixel Change Detector is an intuitive and very easy to understand piece of software that was created to help you find out when a region on screen has modified its color, a visual as well as an audio notification being issued for this precise purpose.

The benefits of using standalone tools

In order to work with the application, an installation process is not necessary, so you can launch it immediately after download; this also translates into no new entries in your registry.
As a consequence of Pixel Change Detector’s portability, it can be stored and run from a removable memory drive, for instance a USB stick, using it on any computer you need you need, right then and there.

Define your target pixel and find out when it modifies its color

To get started, you might want to configure the functioning preferences of the program, specifically whether to emit a sound alert when a change occurs and if it should be displayed on top of all other windows.
At the same time, you need to indicate the pixel that you wish to monitor. To do this, you can press on the ‘Select New Pixel’ button, then click on the precise region on your desktop which is meant to alter its color, for instance the progress bar on a currently installing program or a transfer process.
The utility will then begin monitoring your screen, notifying you as soon as a change is detected and informing you of the ‘Old’ and ‘New Color’ codes. However, the audio alert cannot be customized with a locally stored file.

A useful notifier for color differences on your desktop

To sum it up, Pixel Change Detector is a handy and practical application that you can resort to whenever you are waiting for a download or other similar process to finish and are unable to keep a close eye on your computer monitor.
