Great utility!
I have 1 small problem: the boxes at the bottom where you can enter the RGB
values show only 2 digits. Why not 3?
Is it my OS (NT4 SP6)? I don't understand since all seems to be so neat.

I don't think so, it may be rather because of some different monitor
and font adjustments. In fact I made 3 digits fit exactly in MY boxes,
but I will enlarge them a little bit along with the fixes for the next
version.
So read the news next week!

I think, you're right and I admit, that it was more for reason of
aesthetics then logic, that I implemented it that way: looks nicer to
get <.5,.5,.5> with 128, .75 with 192 ... I simply did not think about
it that deeply.
I will change that in the course of the next days and post a message
here, when it's done.

That's one of the things I hate about programming for Windows. And another
reason I love JFC so much now.

Well, at least you don't have to fit Japanese text onto those buttons.
