Sorry, I couldn't resist the pretentious opening! Anyway, Ozymandias is a color scheme for Kaleidoscope. Simply place it in the "Kaleidoscope Color Schemes" folder in your Extensions folder, open the Kaleidoscope control panel, select Ozymandias, and marvel at how I wasted my time when I could have been working or reading a book or getting some fresh air.
A shattered visage:
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!
I met a traveler from an antique land:
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.
Its sculptor well those passions read which yet survive:
Also thanks to Roy Thomas, Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, and to Percy Bysshe Shelley for the cool poem.
The hand that mocked them:
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!
The lone and level sands stretch far 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.
