Having it lay around gathering dust is disappointing, when all we want to do is use it :) Who can we beg/bribe for things to change ? Too bad it's tied up, since releasing it would pretty much automatically take care of the 'it being outdated' problem. We'll take care of that, and more, we will. Really. I'd want to help make it a great ux/LAF/Nimbus skin building tool the platform deserves. I'm sure there's really a lot of people who would feel the same way, and even more who would need it. I want this so badly i'd even add fx support to it :) Too bad you posted an update just after i said you never answered the designer tool questions on your blog in my fx in swing prototype http://twitter.com/lqd/statuses/1060495035 ...

Also I have not had the time to update it to be in sync with the final version of Nimbus that was released. So would not be a great help without a good chunk of work. A couple Netbeans guys have been looking at it and I hope it might turn into a cool Painter and LAF editor for Netbeans one day. The tool got tied up in legal and management approvals to release it.
