[net.micro.mac] Modify minifinder window

jimb@amdcad.UUCP (Jim Budler) (04/10/85)

 Here, from Compuserve, is a nice article on how to modify the minifinder
window in the system file to a larger more stylish window similar
to the one in Microsoft Word.  




Using the Resource Editor, open the System File.
Then open DITL. Then open DITL -4000. 
Change the information in here to the following:

Place holder   0
Display rect     68    246    86    314
Item type       4
Item info          OPEN

Place holder    0
Display rect      9999    9999    9999    9999
Item type        132

Place holder    0

Okay, when that is done, and you have closed it,  go open the DLOG. 
Now open DLOG ID=-4000. Now change it to match the following:

boundsRect    38    31    160    438
procID    1
visible                         (false)
goAway                       (false)
refCon     0
items      ID      -4000
title     GF
   

That should do it! 
 
I haven't had any problems using this with any applications, although
sometimes the minifinder will appear off-center.
