Was going to reply to your original mail... yes, you can go ahead and 
convert this demo! It shouldn't be too hard. BColorControl has 
layout-management friendly constructors since recently. Playground was 
written when the app_server and Interface Kit was very unfinished. I used 
it to debug various controls and the app_server drawing backend. But now 
it's no problem to convert it to the layout-management and use the proper 
controls for picking a color for example. That should make a nicer demo 
than that new-comers could follow.
