That shouldn't be too hard (part 2)

After the last post, I've been working on making use of the new dominant colour API to create a flashy Icon decoration demo that looks a bit like the Windows 7 task bar.

This is what I've come up with:

With a corresponding demo (requires Java 1.6 to run).

Be warned, you will spend a large amount of time just playing around with it and may be heard muttering words like 'ooo, shiny'.

I'm sure that I will keep tweaking the demo; adding animation and fading for enter/exit events and will work on improving the performance and style when I get some more free time but I think that's about it for now.

All I need to do now is think up an excuse to use it ;)
