@ Random color object: The control-panel-demo was compiled with DP 1.04 (or earlier) and if you try to compile the source-code with 1.05,it might crash or look different than the control-panel-demo!
(In 1.05 there are less options/commands to tweak the behaviour of the fluids. Also the whole fluids look different, they are now blue instead of green. In 1.05 the fluids most possibly will only be rendered correct, if you have a GeFo-8800 (Mike said it was tested on a 8800), otherwise you might see only spheres instead of a smooth fluid-surface!)
I hope that helped a bit.
