CFloppy 1.0 Read Me
-------------------
by Andrew Welch
3/15/92
CFloppy works only under System 7 on color-capable Macintoshes.
CFloppy is a system extension for System 7.0 and later that rectifies
a shortcoming in the wonderful Finder 7.0: floppy disk icons are
displayed as the ugly old black and white icon while the rest of the
desktop is bursting with color!
CFloppy causes the Finder to display beautiful full-color icons in
place of the black and white floppy disk icons when you are in 16 color
mode or greater. Just drag CFloppy onto your System Folder icon and
restart your Macintosh to activate it.
CFloppy is completely free; I hope you enjoy it!

Notes for Hackers
-----------------
If you don't like the icon I provided for CFloppy, you CAN change it
with ResEdit, but there are some precautions. The resources you
will need to change are 'icl4' #256 (the 16 color floppy disk icon)
and 'icl8' #256 (the 256 and greater color floppy disk icon). Here
are some things to keep in mind:
1) Work only on a COPY of CFloppy in case you screw something up.
2) DO NOT modify the 'ICN#' #256 (b/w floppy disk icon) or the
floppy disk icon mask; this will cause CFloppy to no longer work.
3) DO NOT distribute modified versions of CFloppy.
4) Use only the Apple recommended colors in the 256 color icons so that
the icons will dim properly when they are clicked on.
5) Make sure the color disk icons you create fit exactly within the
icon mask or they will draw strangely.
6) Send me a copy of your work if you can!
