    Kaleidoscope is a control panel that completely overhauls your Mac's
    user interface using plug in Color Scheme files. Instead of me trying
    to describe what it does, you should really just install it and see for
    yourself. You will not be disappointed... If you still are not
    convinced here are just a few of Kaleidoscope's features:
    
    Kaleidoscope includes an "Aaron" plug in Color Scheme that gives you
    the interface of Apple's Mac OS 8 default grayscale theme. This Color
    Scheme provides all of the functionality of the shareware "Aaron"
    extension (which we wrote), and it is based on Apple's official
    specifications for their new grayscale appearance.
    
    Kaleidoscope puts a WindowShade widget at the top right of window title
    bars. Clicking on it collapses the window to just its title bar.
    Clicking again restores the window to full size. Kaleidoscope also has
    an option to play "whoosh" sounds to accompany these actions. The
    System 7.5.x WindowShade extension does not work correctly with
    Kaleidoscope; if you double-click the window title bar, the window does
    not collapse completely.
    
    Kaleidoscope gives document windows a thick border which you can use to
    drag windows from any side.
    
    Kaleidoscope lets you replace the Chicago 12 system font with any font
    and size of your choice (with the restriction that the system font
    cannot be too large or else text will no longer fit in buttons and
    dialog boxes). Please note that the system font is NOT the font used in
    Finder windows; you can set the Finder window font with the "Views"
    control panel.
    
    Kaleidoscope lets you set the background of Finder windows to any color
    you want. It also has an option to colorize Finder windows according to
    the label color of the folder.
