But not compatable with MultiFinder itself -- perhaps it is MultiFinder's fault, but you can't switch applications by clicking in the small icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen when using Darkness. If this is a problem for you, then don't bother with Darkness. Too bad, because except for that I could really get into programming my own screens. (The docs complain about inits/cdevs conflicting, but perhaps if it _were_ a cdev all its irritating problems would disappear? My cdevs don't give me any problems...)
