Overview

A button which allows the user to select a single color. The button has a platform specific look. Ex: on Mac OS X it will mimic an NSColorWell. When the user clicks the button it will open a color chooser set to the current background color of the button. The new selected color will be stored in the background property and can be retrieved using the getBackground() method. As the user is choosing colors within the color chooser the background property will be updated. By listening to this property developers can make other parts of their programs update.
