Created by Perry Lloyd Smith for john|smith|design , ｩ 1997.
Blueprint is based on the simple goodness of schematic drawings, and brought to life by the desire to get back to the basics in a complicated world.
How to use:
Drop Blueprintｩ and Blueprint Liteｩ into your Kaleidoscope Schemes Folder in the extensions folder on your hard drive. The Lite version does not include the system folder icons or the Windowshade sounds.
Also included in this package is a desktop clipping of the background color (the system icons in Blueprint were rendered to be seamless with this background), which you can copy to your Destop Patterns Control Panel.
For the full effect, click on the "Colorize Finder Windows" box and input these ratios into the color picker:
H: 180 S: 100 L: 80
This matches the backgrond color of the icons and the destop pattern clipping, as well.
Also, select 14 point Tecton (which is included with the Kaleidoscope 1.7.2 package) as the system font in the Kaledoscope Control Panel, as the window font in the Views Control Panel, and as the menu font if you are running Tiger Technologies' Menuette.
Sit back, and enjoy!

Final Notes:
Although this design was realised and rendered in a standard 256-color pallette, the 16-color (4-bit) and b&w (1-bit) versions converted over well, so there shouldn't be any problem with color fall through.
This is the first release of the Blueprint scheme, and my first attempt at scheme designing, so please contact me if you discover any wierdness with these schemes.
Blueprintｩ and Blueprint Liteｩ are freeware. Please pass them along to anyone you think might enjoy them, but they must distributed in the enclosing folder, and accompanied by the desktop clipping and this 'Read-Me" file. This package may be bundled on CD-ROM, but requires notification of intent and prior permission, and respectfully requests a copy of the bundle.
