Colormap Editor
The colormap control is a specialized control that allows you to add, delete, move, and edit colors in a "colormap." This colormap will be used by Fluid to colorize the liquid medium based on velocity. Higher velocity colors are to the right.
You may add colors by control-clicking (or right clicking if you have a multi-button mouse) where you want to add them. They will inherit the color that was already there, but you may edit any color by double clicking on its handle. Control-click on an existing handle to delete it or add colors to the right or left of it. Notice that colors can have any amount of transparency that you wish.

Shortcut: Delete a color by option-clicking on its handle.

If you have a colormap that you have created and want to save it for later use (separate from the Theme itself) then you can do that by clicking on the "Save As..." button. The colormap will be saved to the Fluid Color Maps folder and will be automatically loaded in the menu in the future. The colormap will be saved as an OS X standard colorlist and can be used in any other application via the default OS X Color Picker under the Color Palettes section. Again, pretty cool.
