better colors for the UI

Rupali returned from her parents home yesterday. The train was a few hours late, so she arrived at 4AM. (Its a 36 hour train ride.) Needless to say, I didn't sleep well. We had to go grocery shopping--the pantry was quite empty, and then enjoyed a rather long nap in the afternoon. So all in all, I didn't get to spend too much time working on the Ark.

But I did manage to do a few things:

• I changed the colors in the new UI to various shades of grey, to prevent clashes with other colors. I also made the grey a bit lighter to ease readability, along with some other minor changes. Its now been posted on www.compstrm.org as a sneak preview.
• Added a new introductory paragraph on the compstrm home page, compstrm.sourceforge.net.
• Updated the project summary description on Sourceforge: An agile tool for managing both knowledge structures and information streams. A rich environment supporting diverse relationships between topics, name scoping, time navigation, tables, email and binary data.

I still want to do some more writing, as well as a new set of slides, before getting back to the code.
