SonicMood bathes you in gentle tones played by selected instruments to calm and relax you while you work on your computer. You may select from over 21 different "Moods" -- combinations of instruments, note scales, and timings -- designed to take your mind away from the stress of the day. Version 1.2.0 fixes a major OS 9 bug that prevented SonicMood from displaying all of its scenic pictures and occasionally crashed the Help System. It also adds the ability to save and load different "Moods Files". You can now launch SonicMood by double clicking one of the Moods Files (you can recognize them by their "yellow musical note" icon). A considerable change in appearance makes SonicMood adhere more closely to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
