Welcome to the fantastic world of scheme-fiction. This scheme is the product of my recent "kaleido-fever", that is growing day by day. I have downloaded dozens of schemes, and after seeing them, I decided to make my own one. I like the Lavender color scale, so I do a definitely Lavender scheme. Also I like simple buttons, with geometric forms, so I named it "GeoLavender".
This Scheme Facts
･this scheme works with versions of Kaleidoscope 1.5 and up. But Kaleidoscope 1.7.x is required for MacOS 8 compatibility.
･this scheme is indicated for use with 256 colors or more. Althought it'll work with less colors (even with B&W), it's not what it's intended for.
･to get the most from this scheme, use Smart Scroll and Double Scroll. GeoLavender looks great with those control panels active. To get both, search'em on Info-Mac or other Mac sites.
･customize the Highlight color to R:60/G:60/B:100, and tell Kaleidoscope to colorize finder windows using color R:80/G:80/B:100. Then you will have a very lavender OS!
Does this scheme costs me something?
Well, of course not. It's free, all I ask for is that you send me an email telling me if you like it, if you don't, or anything you like. So this is emailware, my contact details are:

Version History
1.3.2 I hope this is the last version. Changed the active windows, menu bar and some minor glitches.
1.3.1 Minor changes this time. Now the scroll bars have the 3D look too. I think that this is at least the last version... for now :-)
1.3 Again some mayor changes. Fixed the Black'n White support, now it does. Also fixed inactive windows, so active ones are more visible. Version made while palying with Designer's Studio 1.0, and although I didn't add any resource (nor did Designer's Studio), the file is a little bigger!
1.2.1 Minor changes. Fixed some icons and lowered the file size.
1.2 Mayor upgrades to the scheme. Finished the scroll bar design, removing the ugly bug. But I may change it as well in the next version. Added a pattern to the Active Window Header to get the active window more as an "active window". Changed as well the dialog buttons, now they look like the other scheme items. I'm very happy with this version.
1.1 Changed the scroll arrows and scroll bars to fit the "look and feel" of the scheme. Just a mayor cosmetic change, but added a simply bug, that I prefer to call a feature :-)! The fact is that the scroll bar gets over the separating line of the scroll arrows, deleting it. I'll work on that.
1.0 Initial release, very fresh and a bit ugly ;-D
