Publisher's description
From Joe Stenger and Arlo Rose :Kaleidoscope is a powerful utility that gives your Macintosh a complete visual overhaul, letting you choose from thousands of different interface designs using plug-in files called schemes. Kaleidoscope patches nearly all 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 in Mac OS 8. Kaleidoscope 2.0 (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 nonrectangular windows, enhanced menus, background patterns, double-headed scroll bars, tabs, sliders, cursors, and many other enhancements.
Kaleidoscope 2.2 is now compatible with Mac OS 9. Under 8.5 and later, it supports scroll bars with both arrows at one end, and the Finder spinning zoom rectangles are back. Kaleidoscope 2.2 also patches the toolbars in Photoshop. This version fixes problems with Apple DVD Player, Extensis Mask Pro, America Online 4.0, Adobe Illustrator 8.0, Tex-Edit, SoundJam, Icon Archiver, ICQ, Multi Ad Creator, Quark CopyDesk, Installer VISE, and other applications. The included schemes have all been updated to look and work better, and there are several dozen other minor changes, fixes, and improvements.
