Uhm, I will think about it... but maybe I misunderstood your comments:
did you ask to include the 48 "small panels" which represents the base
colours (at least on Windows) inside the dialog? If this is the case,
I might probably rearrange the layout, but then the dialog might
become a bit overcrowded...

Well, "images.py" should be in the demo directory... it contains
almost all the images used by the demo in string/cStringIO/whatever
format.

Uhm, it's been a while since I tried my implementation of the wxPython
demo: a couple of months ago (or maybe more), I proposed to change the
look of the demo by using wxAUI for the interface management,
CustomTreeCtrl for the demo tree, FlatNotebook for the central
notebook and some icons to make the demo look fancier. Robin had
accepted a small patch, which did not include CustomTreeCtrl and
FlatNotebook (the wxPython demo tree is still a wx.TreeCtrl and the
central notebook is still a wx.Notebook), and he has modified a bit
the wxAUI demo management.
In theory, my demo should work as the standard wxPython demo (only
with a different notebook tabs appearance and different tree control
behaviour), but I will check to see what is going on.

Thank you for the report!

Andrea.
