Many Changes

I've been looking at the demo program on two different browsers while Ken makes changes and I say yes or no to what it looks like. I think all of you will see quite a bit different in both the look and functionality. What's your overall impression of where things are now?

** this is the important part:
1.- Please look at the rope and tell me if you think the edges look reasonable as compared to a real bead crocheted rope. How reasonable do you think it looks when you change the shape of the beads used?

Then other things are:
2.- How's the speed of the "twirl" of the rope now?
3.- Does it bother you that the Graph beads are all the same shape no matter what shape the beads are on the rope?
4.- Do you like the "blank" feature making everything revert back to a neutral Gray rather than Black or White? (Judith's choice)

Note: everything is still all Flat Graphics as the neat things like shading are not that important to the functionality of this Demo - later for the nice to haves. Although feel free to bring up what you might consider to be nice to have.

Help... Ken has asked me to pick 100 beads, arrange them in rows of 20 so he can pick off the colors for the color chart block. Any ideas of how to do that and what to pick?
