Type a color name or a hexadecimal value into the first textbox
and click "Change Background" to view it as the background
color. Click "Random Background" to view a random color and
see its hex value in the textbox below. "Change Constantly" wil
l make a new, random background color at the defined interval,
and "Stop!" will stop the interval. [Do not click "Change
Constantly" more than once without clicking "Stop!" first or the
script will be uncontrollable.] None of the background colors are
predefined, they are selected randomly.
