Remember kaleidoscope desktop customizer in OS 9

Here is one of them, you could make all your menus with any one of their themes.
I chose the dog one of course, but they were all fun.
I wonder if you can get it for OS X.
Here is an old picture of it.
I forgot to say that all the folders were little dogs, and the sidebars were all bones or paws or whatever you wanted.

Jane, I was also a fan of Kaleidoscope.  In fact I used a program (the name I forget) that allowed you to create your own themes and I made a few for my own use. I had a lot of fun with it.

Since you are using Tiger you can use Shapeshifter. It does not work with Leopard.

I found a program that can theme a Mac under Leopard, BUT NOT SNOW LEOPARD. The authors are supposedly rewriting the app to be compatible with SL.

I'm going to move this to the tech side since it has info others may want.

Thank you,
These will be fun to explore, Ive got both Tiger and Leopard, so I can see what they both will do.
Fun stuff. I Googled for stuff but didnt find any, glad you dug deeper than I did.
