I just got the NeVR init, but it doesn't seem to DO anything. Not on startup, not on shutdown, nothin'. What's up? I'm using a Mac Plus with System 6.0. Please mail replies to: dhill@ucsd.edu dhill@ucsd.bitnet Thanks!

The NevR init changes your title bars to a sort of pseudo NeXT look. What you really want is the MainWDEF init by jbx and Eric. A much nicer implementation of the NeXT style. Changes the title bar window outline on ALL windows. -David

Sadly, MainWDEF looks lousy when you change the colors of the scroll bar control on a Mac II. While NeVR doesn't look as much like the NeXT interface, I find it an improvement over the standard Mac title bar. Does anyone know how these work? Is it done by installing a new WDEF into the system, or by trapping WDEF executions? -- David Elliott dce@Solbourne.COM ...!{boulder,nbires,sun}!stan!dce

It patches GetResource so that when called with a resource type='WDEF' and id=0, it returns a handle to a custom WDEF. The custom WDEF is loaded into the system heap and detached from the INITs resource file (so that it stays around after the file is closed). For some reason, this INIT also patches LoadResource. It seems that patching GetResource ought to be adequate. Does anyone know why LoadResource is patched as well? ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.
