Scribble 1.0d1
by Chris Derossi and Darin Adler
MacHack ’91
Scribble is a system extenstion (okay, INIT) which lets you
paint into your Finder windows under System 7.0. Things that
you paint are persistent; if you close the window or restart, the
picture will be in the window when you open it again.
In version 1.0d1 we’ve included a pencil, eraser, paintbrush,
and erase-all tool. (The erase-all tool will go away when
Scribble has a palette and you can double-click the eraser.)
To use Scribble, type Command-Plus to cycle through the
painting tools. The cursor will change if it’s over the paintable
area of a Finder window. Typing Command-Minus will turn
off the painting tools. So you know that Scribble is listening,
you get a beep each time you change tools.
If you want to edit your window pictures in other paint
programs, you can. Save the picture as a PICT
resource in a file called FinderWindowBackground. The
picture will be displayed in the window for the folder where
you’ve saved the file.
Known Bugs:
There are some cosmetic bugs, but we haven’t found any
crashing bugs (in 10 minutes of testing…).
This version of Scribble is a little memory-hungry. You can
reduce the amount of memory used by Scribble by
putting your main screen into 1-bit mode while
booting.
Scribble is in progress. Future versions will support color,
more tools, a floating palette, copy, cut, paste, clear, and even
undo.
