The memory leak seems to affect Windows XP as well, so I can only assume that this is a problem on all platforms. You are only affected if you run under -Dteppefall.chrome=false and you can probably stop the problem by setting -Dteppefall.cursor-monitor=false.
Example:
java
-Dteppefall.cursor-monitor=false
-Dteppefall.chrome=false
-Dteppefall.override=true
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.teppefall.ds.look.TitaniumLAF
-jar darkstarlayout.jar
There seems to be a Windows Vista specific memory leak in the latest build. Applications will stop working correctly after 24 hours or so. I am working on it.
On a side note.. My Apple Powerbook is spewing out thousands of error messages. “bootp_session_transmit: bpf_write(en2) failed: No buffer space available (55)” plus errors from launchd, Mail and various processes. Who knows what is wrong. Maybe swap is screwed up.. if I have swap that is :) Rebooting the machine every day now (how unnatural). Waiting for Leopard.
The latest ATI graphics driver hangs Windows XP and Linux KDE now complains that it can't talk to klauncher. And to top all this off. Firefox uses 95% CPU when idling in multiple Web 2.0 websites.
I might have found the cause of global warming. Software bugs.
Darkstar 2D's CompositeQuickTime.createImageFromQT should work on OS X and you end up with a apple.awt.OSXImage. Fun fact: searching for apple.awt.OSXImage on Google gives me 10 hits.

Wow.. written by a high school senior. The mask and sprite code is really cool. So I made a Javascript “mashup” in Darkstar FX.
One thing that is strange. My color picker (Colorspace) reports that the green in the Mario tile is #008500 in Firefox but #007300 when I paint the same image in Java 2D or open the file in Photoshop.

New features:
Colorspace supports the scroll wheel. One NPE fixed. Both fixes by Luan. Decimal values are written to standard output when the decimal check box is selected. 200-500ms shaved off About dialog launch. Colorspace no longer runs under a security policy since it causes to many problems on OS X.
Darkstar applications now have focus aware menus under Titanium LAF. A feature from the stone age. Just use com.teppefall.ds.Application in the same way as before. This means that the foreground color of your menu goes dark (under Titanium) when the JFrame loses focus.
The DSR executable supports the -Xchrome parameter. This turns on the native chrome and is the same as -Dteppefall.chrome=true.
DSR can launch multiple applications at the same time. Just add a comma separator between class names. A word of warning though. Running threads might block the shutdown process, so closing down resources on application exit is paramount. Note that DSR today has a very high probability of not closing down properly.
Other issues:
If Darkstar FX is unable to create HTML and thumbnails you should try the -Xinsecure parameter. FX and Layout run under security managers and can fail if the policy file is not perfect. Strange problems when running under DSR might also be a result of the security policy.
