Jay, With Angel's help I am in the process of finishing the debugging of the javascript for the colorpicker widget. As Angel says presently it is set up within Jmol's WebExport only for changing background color. However, as soon as we finish debugging (mostly MSIE issues, which I think Angel has figured out), I will make the javascript available on my web site and in the Wiki. The functions are set up so you can pass any script command with the color the user picks from the popup inserted in the appropriate place. It works a lot like jmolMenu or jmolButton. I think we are only a few days away from this.
