Those apps are not open source AFAIK. So we can base further enhancements
on this app but not Icon-O-Matic or WonderBrush.

I'm afraid that BColorControl is not something that can or should be
changed, it is based on the control from BeOS 5. Although perhaps it would
be nice to have the ColorPicker class used in Colors! in the In the
Interface Kit so that other apps could utilize it as well. I was also
thinking that making the ColorPicker view into a replicant would be a nice
addition as well, but I had to stop somewhere...
Unfortunately I was unable to sign up for an account on OSDrawer.net so I
am not able to update the sources there. So instead I added the sources to
Github. You can view them here: https://github.com/jscipione/Colors
Happy hacking,
