This is a response to a post about using Kolor 2.0 with System 7.

When Apple designed those fancy 3-d shaded windows and scroll bars
(with those cute color tinges selected in the color control panel)
for System 7, they changed the way the system stores its coloring
information.  I believe that the "Kolor" control panel was designed
to work with the old System 6 color information.  As a result, even
if you could get Kolor to work with System 7, you'd revert to the
old System 6 style monochrome windows (except those windows would
now be drawn in the colors you specified).

Another utility to colorize windows/menus/etc. is a shareware program
called Colorize.  I don't think it's on SUMEX, but I think you might
find it on mac.archive.umich.edu.  It lets you colorize each application
individually, which makes sense considering that some applications don't
like it when their windows are colorized (for instance, the Finder
insists on erasing things to white).  Colorize suffers from the same
problem as Kolor in that it uses the System 6 color information.

If you want to colorize your menus, dialog boxes, and Finder windows,
you could try out my shareware ($10) control panel, "Greg's Buttons".
It doesn't disturb the System 7 color information, and it gets around
the problem I mentioned above about coloring the windows in the Finder.
Yes, this is a shameless plug, so I won't waste any more bandwidth...
