- MacPPP Add-ons version 2.0.1 (5/95)
- ============================
-
- Ever wish that Mac PPP had normal system 7 3-D icons? Get tired of seeing
- that dull MacPPP connection dialog? Then these ResEdit resources are for
- you!
-
- Enclosed in this archive are five items:
-
- *This file
- *Config PPP icons
- *PPP icons
- *PPP Dialogs
- and,
- *Colour Smilies Folder
-
- Config PPP Icons
- ----------------
-
- This ResEdit file contains all the resources to add color, system 7 "3-D"
- icons to the Config Mac PPP cdev.
-
- PPP Icons
- ---------
-
- This ResEdit file contains all the resources to add color, system 7 "3-D"
- icons to the Mac PPP extension.
-
- PPP Dialogs
- -----------
-
- This ResEdit file contains all the resources to add a slightly smaller,
- centered, connection dialog (with a color icon in it) to MacPPP.
-
-
- Colour Smilies Folder
- =====================
-
- This folder contains all the files needed to add a color "smiley" icon to
- the upper left of the Config PPP dialog box. This was inspired by John
- Cundall in England. He emailed me with the fixes and they sat in my inbox
- for quite a long time (I didn't have a color screen then).
-
- Colour Smilies Icons
- --------------------
- This ResEdit file contains John's set of colorized "smiley" icons.
-
- Color Hands Icons
- -----------------
- This ResEdit file contains my set of "hands" icons that I think look
- better :).
-
- Colour Smilies README
- ---------------------
- To make Config PPP "see" these icons you have to modify the 'cdev' resource
- in the Config PPP file. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE SQUEAMISH! This file
- details the hex addresses to be modified.
-
- Color Icon cdev
- ---------------
- This file is for the squeamish. It's a 'cdev' resource for Config PPP
- that's already been modified to "see" the color "smiley" icons.
-
- What these are
- ==============
-
- These are simple ResEdit hacks I (and others) did in a night to spruce up
- MacPPP. They are simple and not in any way, shape or form guaranteed not
- to bomb the hell out of your Mac. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- I'm sorry but I really can't go into basic ResEdit here. The process is
- pretty straight forward, simple copy and paste. There are two things that
- are worth mentioning, however...
-
- 1) Always work from a backup! One slip of the mouse and a file can be
- rendered useless or worse (yes, there is worse).
-
- 2) When changing icons at the ResEdit level remember that the desktop file
- must be rebuilt. To do this hold down the option+command keys through
- the startup process and you'll be prompted by system to rebuild your
- desktop. Also, read the Readme file that came with your system software
- (you did keep it didn't you? :)). It mentions certain conflicts with
- Easy Open and system 7.5 that need to be avoided (it recommends using the
- extensions manager to turn off all your extension 'cept Easy Open and
- *then* rebuilding the desktop).
-
- Enjoy...
