What is Kaleidoscope? Kaleidescope was a program designed for the Mac operating system that allowed you to customize your Macintosh's interface using "Schemes" (themes). Some Schemes came bundled with Kaleidescope while others created by Kaleidoscope users were available to download on various websites throughout the internet. Note that Schemes are not compatible with the Macintosh's built in theme manager. Kaleidescope stopped development after version 2.3.1 and was eventually discontinued in 2001 due to OS 10 being released. NOTE: You will need the Kaleidoscope application AND Schemes. All the Schemes published for Kaleidoscope are available here in the 2 zip files: kaleidoscope_schemes.zip and kaleidoscope_banned.zip
