Publisher's description
From Joe Stenger and Arlo Rose :
Kaleidoscope is a powerful utility that gives your Macintosh a completevisual overhaul, letting you choose from thousands of different interfacedesigns using plug-in files called schemes. Kaleidoscope patches nearlyall of the Macintosh interface, including the basic windows, scroll bars,menus, and buttons under System 7 as well as the new pop-up windows,tabs, beveled buttons, and sliders under Mac OS 8. Kaleidoscope 2.0 (also known as K2) was a huge step forward in interface customization.In addition to running old Kaleidoscope schemes faster and more reliably,and using less RAM, version 2.0 offered a new and improved schemeformat. That format offered nonrectangular windows, enhanced menus,background patterns, double-headed scroll bars, tabs, sliders, cursors,and many other enhancements. Kaleidoscope 2.0 also had a redesignedcontrol panel, and it came with two new schemes by Arlo Rose,former head of Apple Computer's human interface design team. Version 2.0.1 is a maintenance release, fixing a crash that occurred at registration; crashes with Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and ICQ; and various other minor problems. It also brings back the Onyx, Ice, and Sherbet schemes, and the installer is more robust.
