For those of you who can't wait, the color-finder init, that allows color icons in the finder, is now on sumex in info-mac/init/color-finder.hqx The init was written by Chris Derossi. You can get to sumex via anonymous ftp to sumex.stanford.edu or sumex-aim.stanford.edu rob rdsesq@jessica.stanford.edu _______________________________________________________________________________ If evil be the food of genius There aren't many demons around _______________________________________________________________________________

I'll second the call for SunDesk and ResColors. I couldn't even find them on Applelink after much trying. Please upload them here at once, or tell me where they might be found on link. thanks! -- __________________________________________________________________________ |Disclaimer: I run 125 INITs.

these cicn resources that I've been using with icon colorizer into the icl8 resources that SunDesk uses? Why was icl8 created in the first place? This may sound silly coming from an Apple person, but I can't keep up with everything. -- __________________________________________________________________________ |Disclaimer: I run 125 INITs.

The icl8 (and the icl4 and icl2) describe an icon of a specific bit depth. The icl8 uses 8 bits for every pixel, the icl4 uses 4 bits for each pixel, etc. In System 7.0, the Finder will use color icons ala the ColorFinder INIT. To draw the icons, it will use the icon resource corresponding to the current bit depth of the monitor i.e. if the monitor is set at 8-bits (256 colors) is will use the icl8. This is done for speed. It is faster to draw the icon if the bit depths match. Bruce Burkhalter
