This view puts fireworks on the screen.  It has a Preferences Panel like the SwarmView module. (accessible by moving the mouse to the upper right corner...)  In fact, the basic code was taken from there.

Preferences:


To install - just put the FireworksView.o and the FireworksPrefs.nib file in your BackSpace object directory.  (The .nib file must be inside the Backspace.app directory; the .o file can be anywhere BackSpace looks for your other BackSpace modules.)

Credit:
This module has code stolen from other BackSpace modules (SwarmView and BlackView to name two...)

Disclaimer:
This is one of my first backspace hacks, so if  you think it sucks, I don't want to hear it.  But if anyone thinks of any improvements...well, then I do want to hear about them!

Bugs:
Doesn't save Preferences in the Defaults database.  It ought to do at least that much, but I haven't the time to add the required functionality right now.
