      -wname name
              This option allows the user to specify that the window named name

              window.

DESCRIPTION
      Cpicker makes temporary changes to the installed colormap, allowing the
      user to observe the effects.  It's useful for trying to pick that perfect
      color or find the appropriate color combination for an application.

      When cpicker first starts, it either uses the colormap of the window
      specified, or asks you to click on the window whose colormap you wish to
      edit.  Then, it displays a grid of the color cells in the installed
      colormap.  Click on the cell you wish to edit.  Then, in the upper right
      there will be a box containing the current color along with a label
      showing the current RGB values in X11 hex format.

      To adjust the current color you can use one of the nine sliders, each
      controlling one of the RGB, HSV, or CMY values for the current color.  Or
      you can click on a cell displayed in the palette to use its color.  The
      palette button underneath the hex label switches between the three
      palettes: range, narrow, and wide.  You can also click on the hex label
      to directly enter new RGB hex values.

      If you click on the "match" button, the palette will change to the colors
      in the file /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt which are closest to the current color.
      As you select these colors, their names appear below the bottom buttons.
      Use the palette button to return the palette to an ordinary selection.

      The "select" button allows you to choose another cell to edit, the
      "cancel" button restores the current color to its original value, the
      "restore" button restores all the cells of the colormap to their original
      value, and the "quit" button exits out of cpicker.
