Ocean is a calm and restful color scheme -- some might call it subdued to the point of anonymity -- for Kaleidoscope. Simply place it in the "Kaleidoscope Color Schemes" folder in your Extensions folder, open the Kaleidoscope control panel, select Ocean, and let it wash all over you.
In case you're seeing this by accident somehow and don't already know, Kaleidoscope is an incredibly cool Macintosh interface-altering control panel by Greg Landweber, available from the Greg's Shareware site at http://greg.math.harvard.edu or from a variety of mirror sites and archives across the Internet. Remember to pay your shareware fee!
Special thanks to Layne "Blue Sky Guy" Karkruff for advice and encouragement. Visit his Blue Sky Heart Graphics site at http://home.earthlink.net/~bluskyguy/ for even cooler Kaleidoscope color schemes and the shiniest icons available anywhere. Prepare to be dazzled.
Also thanks to Peter Gabriel, Pete Townshend, Happy Rhodes, and Claude Debussy for all the ocean-themed music that ran through my head while I worked on this.
Apparently, a few of the third-party color schemes now in circulation have been responsible for system crashes and incompatibility with various applications. If you experience any problems while using any third-party color schemes -- i.e., any that are not included with Kaleidoscope itself -- do remember to try using one of the original Landweber-authored color schemes and see if that doesn't clear up the problem. All these third-party color schemes (this one included) are created without Greg's authorization or approval, which means he cannot be held responsible for any problems they may cause. For my part, I have tried to stick as close to Greg's specifications as possible, and have tested out this color scheme with a wide variety of applications. To the best of my knowledge, it should cause no problems. If you run into any problem specific to one of *my* color schemes (and no others) please let me know right away!
If you absolutely hate this color scheme and want someone to complain to, or if you want to say something nice about it and brighten my day, direct your comments and criticisms to Richard Bensam at rabensam@earthlink.net, or visit my website at http://home.earthlink.net/~rabensam/ and see what other stuff I do to waste my time.
