Introducing Colorspace

Colorspace is a mashup (that is what the kids call it nowadays) of the Substance LAF initialization code, the Xoetrope color wheel, the Quaqua color picker and Teppefall Darkstar.

I have done a lot of work in the design industry and know the work flow of designers and web developers. I thought that this application might be a snug fit for just that group. Hell, even a girly girl girl might appreciate this one. Yes, I have bitch-slapped myself for saying that. Colorspace should be a helpful tool alongside Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

I would like to stress that this application is 89% not done by me. I just added 500 lines of Java, 100 lines of C++ and 100 lines of Darkstar build instructions. The inspiration came from the Substance color chooser and the awesome Xoetrope and Quaqua components that it is based on.

Colorspace will be released next week. I broke the JVM C++ hookup code two days ago and must spend some time figuring out what is wrong.

Issues:
- Colorspace is broken on OS X Java 1.6 beta. The fix is to use 1.5.
- This application must run under Substance in order to work properly.
