Need help finding some OOOOOOOOOOOLD software - Harbourmaster - 12-10-2006
I hope someone here can help me out. I am looking for a very old piece of software from the System 7 days called "Before Dark" also known as "Chameleon" . This was a nice little program that put desktop patterns on your desktop!
I have a copy of version 1.1 but it only includes 1 pattern and advises that you download more from the internet, of course the company is long gone and I can't find the software anyplace on the net including some of the bigger Mac FTP archives.
anyone, anyone?

Couldn't Before Dark also use any of the "After Dark" modules?

Sorry but while going on a quest for info...learned something new. The creators of Berkeley Systems After Dark (Flying toasters anyone?) went on to found MoveOn.org.
Interesting...

I had a couple of programs of that type, but not the one you want: I had Wallpaper and Screenscapes and some shareware one whose name I can't remember.

There seems to be a bunch if you ftp to grandaccess.com. There's a whole folder of finder patterns for use with BeforeDark and so on.
If it's a good resource, consider sending the guy who maintains it a few bucks via paypal. http://www.newnan.cc/FTP.html
