Yeah, well, you better not have a IIci; keylights causes the poor beast to crash on startup -- but not until after the keylights init does its thing -- with the interesting result of the Mac being dead in the water while the key lights merrily sequence. An impressive use of whatever processor lives in that keyboard, I guess. Perhaps if we can shame Kaseguma into posting the source code, we could patch whatever ails it on the IIci, and turn it into a Darkness document for your screensaver idea.

I can't get the Keyboard Light sequencer to work on my SE either. Even when it is the only INIT active, it crashes my machine with an ID 3 system error the first time I try to select a menu item in the finder. I can open disks and folders without crashing though.
