I also made sure to add all the missing resources the convertor failed to include. Althea 1.5 looks pretty much like Althea 1.1.2 did, with the exception of the grow box.

This makes it much easier to work with text without reaching the mouse. The following key combinations are allowed: - shift + any arrow: extend the current selection. - option + left/right arrow: move to the previous or next word. - control + left/right arrow or option + up/down arrow: move to the beginning or end of the current line. - shift + option + any arrow: move like option + arrow while extending the selection. - option + delete: delete up to the beginning of the current word (or clear selection). - forward delete or shift + delete: delete the next character (or clear selection). - option + forward delete or shift + option + delete: delete up to the end of the current word (or clear selection). - clear: clear the current selection, if any. - option + clear: delete the current word (or clear selection). * The above tasks should usually be performed by applications, but many of them don't care. Better Edit Keys implements this default behavior in all situations where the application is not already taking care of it, but it does nothing if the application handles the keystrokes by itself. This means that the above keystrokes will not work if the application already handles them. For example recent versions of SimpleText handle the forward delete key by themselves, which also disables the option + forward delete keystroke provided by Better Edit Keys. There is no safe way to override the application's own handling of the keystrokes, so Better Edit Keys is only useful for applications that don't handle them and for generic text editing fields like the ones in dialog windows.

"Dark Star" according to Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for Deadheads: '"Dark Star" is considered by many [Dead]heads to be the ultimate Grateful Dead song, but the word "song" doesn't do it justice. "Dark Star" is more an approach, a platform for exploration, a gate swinging open to the Zone.' Though "Dark Star" is found on many of my CD's, my favorite version is the first one I heard on Live/Dead. 23 minutes of magic. If that isn't enough, try to find Grayfolded (which was not released by the Dead). This 2-CD set is a non-stop mingling and mixing of Dark Stars from throughout the ages.

Added some new ics. 1.0: Initial structure (in 1.0.x format) Khaki 1.5 is not simply a converted 1.0.1 scheme. The scheme convertor is flawed and produces unsatisfactory results. Khaki 1.5 was created by converting Khaki 1.1 with the convertor and then it was inspected and editted with ResEdit.

I also made sure to add all the missing resources the convertor failed to include. Khaki for K1.0.1 was my first attempt at creating color schemes and it never really worked because it caused mysterious color substitution problems. Because of this, I abandoned it. Until now. I've redone a lot of the resources to make it look similar to my other schemes. I put a lot of work into this one because I've always wanted it to work. I took an incomplete conversion of an incomplete scheme and created what I think is a great scheme. Khaki 1.5 works great. Khaki was named before I had decided to name all of my schemes after Grateful Dead titles. I called it Khaki because khaki, though many consider to just be tan, is really a family of colors ranging anywhere from off-white to dark brown plus shades of drab and olive green - all the colors in the scheme.

Macintosh PICTs consist of a series of operation codes (opcodes), each followed by a variable amount of data. For a reactangle, for instance, the entry in the picture code consists of the opcode for a rectangle followed by the four coordinates of the rectangle. PictViewer parses the picture code and displays each drawing operation as one line of text. Large data structures (pixmaps, for example) are abbreviated. It also handles most of the 'standard' picture comments. What is does not do: There are a number of items on the to do list, such as opening PICT files, printing, and picture editing, more elaborate display of data (headers, postscript comments etc.). Since my time is very limited, don't count on a new version for a very long time (unless I lose my job ;-). How it works: Just open a new window and paste your PICTure (sorry-- you can't open PICT files yet). Why did you write it? I'm glad you ask. This is a program I've written primarily for myself. This means that it is not very well tested. I've used it to check how applications handled pictures (and especially picture comments). This is handy if you're trying to write an application that generates pictures with smooth curves, thin lines etc. and wants to print them correctly. Apart form being written for private use, the program is also not finished (well, finished enough for me, at the time). I just haven't got the spare time to finish it and with Apples changing operating system views, I'm not sure it's worth it. The program has also served its purpose in identifying MS Word as the program that was changing my line-widths and careful character placements. What does it cost? Zip! Nada! Gratis! etcetera. Yep, it's free. Just don't distribute it for a fee or without the documentation.

It has been optimized for K1.5.1. I created it by altering my own Althea. I made some changes here, and then some there, and eventually, I came up with this. Its main inspiration was the grow box that I put in all of my 1.5 schemes. Someone once called them "pseudo-Windows 95". I could begin to argue why I would rather not call them "pseudo-Windows 95", but why bother? Anyways, the box appears to have little ridges or impressions (or ripples, if you will).
