Mixing FX and Layout
I am not sure if people are aware of this, but you can run Teppefall FX scripts within Teppefall Layout.
Also, here is Colorspace in Titanium White LAF.

Memory leak update
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

Colorspace 1.5, Layout 3.2, FX 3.2 and Darkstar 20070905
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.

Titanium on Vista
I found this excellent screenshot tool today. So I tested it out. All applications are running on Vista with the -Xchrome parameter.
Teppefall Darkstar EXE parameters for Windows.
- -Xchrome - Turns on the native chrome.
- -Xnative - Windows look and feel.
- -Xinsecure - Not running under the DSR security policy.

Writing Darkstar applications in Python
You don't have to use Java in order to create Darkstar applications. Here is a simple project I wrote in Python - py_dsi.zip.

Huge update - Fabric/Surface/Darkstar
Tons of polish. Windows versions should be awesome.
Mac versions might have some problems :( Shutdown logic might be borked more than before.

Fabric 2.0.1
Fabric's documentation is really bad. Some may say “non-existent“ is a better description. Well, here is a simple paper describing the technology.
