But not compatable with MultiFinder itself -- perhaps it is
MultiFinder's fault, but you can't switch applications by clicking in
the small icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen when using
Darkness.  If this is a problem for you, then don't bother with
Darkness.

Too bad, because except for that I could really get into programming
my own screens.  (The docs complain about inits/cdevs conflicting, but
perhaps if it _were_ a cdev all its irritating problems would
disappear?  My cdevs don't give me any problems...)
