Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope 2.2 -- Shareware $25 by Greg Landweber and Arlo Rose German Version Kaleidoscope is the ultimate in user interface customization, letting you switch between completely different designs provided by plug-in files called "Schemes". Kaleidoscope comes with eight schemes, including the Mac OS 8, System 7, and Be OS interfaces, as well as five radically new designs by Arlo Rose, formerly of Apple's Human Interface Design Center. There are also several thousand third party schemes available on the Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive and elsewhere. Kaleidoscope 2.2 is a significant upgrade. Looking ahead, 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 now patches the toolbars in Photoshop. This version fixes problems with Apple DVD Player, Extensis Mask Pro, America Online 4.0, Adobe Illustrator 8, 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.
