- Introduction
- ------------
- Does anyone besides me hate having to choose the color for a new
- Stickies note from a black & white menu? These three resources
- will make your Stickies Color menu look much nicer.
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- You must be running System 7.5 and have installed the Stickies
- application. This patch is provided as a do-it-yourself patch,
- so you must also have a copy of ResEdit (the latest version is
- 2.1.3 as of Fri, 24 Mar, 1995) or equivalent resource editor.
-
-
- Contents of Stickies Color menu.rsrc
- ------------------------------------
- 'ICON' #300
- This icon will show up in the Color menu to give you some idea of
- how the note's color will look.
-
- 'mctb' #132
- This menu color table resource is used to color the menu items
- with the same color as the notes.
-
- 'MENU' #132
- This is a replacement 'MENU' resource that will display the
- swatch of color as well as add the Command key combinations
- Cmd-1 thru Cmd-7 to choose a color.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- All the usual ResEdit disclaimers apply: only perform this patch
- on a copy of Stickies (one that is not currently running).
-
- Note: I am not trying to be condescending in my explicit
- instructions--I am simply trying to be as clear as possible.
-
- 1. Open the Stickies application with ResEdit, as well as the
- enclosed Stickies Color menu.rsrc document.
- 2. Choose Window:Stickies Color menu.rsrc
- 3. Edit:Select All
- 4. Edit:Copy
- 5. Window:Stickies
- 6. Edit:Paste (when it asks you to replace the resources
- with the same ID, click Yes--the only
- resource being replaced is the 'MENU' #132)
- 7. File:Save
- 8. File:Quit
-
-
- You're done! Open Stickies to view your handiwork.
-
- Hope you like it. Drop me a line if you find it useful (or if you
- hate it).
