Dark Mode for OS 9?

Now I have a Mac mini G4 with macOS 9.2.2. The problem is that I have difficulty viewing the screen comfortably because of typical white background. o_O I see more comfortably and can use a lot longer in dark mode. :cool:

So, I am wondering if anyone has come across a CDEV that changes the screen, theme, etc,. to dark mode? :unsure:

I know many hated jt, but I liked having it. I use a G5 for some work stuff, and I have it enabled on mine (still!)

I always found it strange that the sound effects had cut-off issues when virtual memory was enabled, or when run under Mac OS X (Classic). I kind of liked the sound effects, but only without the cut-off issue.

I always turned it off in seconds. I sort of found it like having someone humming under their breath next to you. I didn't use 9 much back in the day.

I think it was just... too much. If it had been a couple of things, but not constant. I was fine with Windowshade's woosh, and I'd have been ok with eject and perhaps menu select, but not dragging and windows opening and closing etc.

I extracted them for someone a while back :

I just tried something weird by taking all the sounds and playing them simultaneously. It kind of sounds like something big is being squished, with a pair of ratchets constantly running in the background.

Kaleidoscope won't slow a G4 down noticeably. It runs at speed on a 25MHz machine, let alone a 1.25GHz machine.

The theme "Onyx" might be what you want.

Thanks. Yes, it flies on my Mini G4. Unfortunately, for some reason, it crashes. Maybe I need to get rid of all those themes I downloaded and put them there? There are about 4,000 themes.
 
hmmm...honestly, none of those dark themes I find in those huge Kaleidoscope theme packs are what I am looking for exactly. I'd like to make my own theme.

So, I wonder how did folks make the themes for Kaleidoscope?
 
So far, the BlackOut theme works best for now. :) I would've liked to see the window shade and the little box close a Lil better, as it is a tad too dark. Nevertheless, it is dark mode well enough for now. :)

I know some folks did create themes that macOS 9 meets Yosemite and other OS X versions. Maybe someone will make the dark mode theme for macOS 9 just as we see in Monterey? :)
