How about Apple putting floating palletes in the ToolBox?  The more apps
do it their own way, the more chance they have of breaking on future Apple
systems/CPU's.  If there's a standard method relying on ToolBox calls, the
underlying code can be updated by Apple to keep in shape with future releases.

Just a thought.
