First of all, the insane side dock with 1000 apps organized by color making a VERY aesthetically pleasing color gradient is not what I expected to see lol

You blew my mind with this possibility. thanks, man. Great tutorial!

[ShaneCasserly]

this is a great method for replicating pixels on a screen, in that case exract the red, green, and blue and replace with your own colored pixels
