Well, I'm playing with layout, changing the Finder font to Camelot, when I notice there isn't enough of a gap between the bottom of the icon and the top of the text. Layout wont let you set this, so I go into Resedit to change it by hand. SURPRISE, there's some new bits/fields. For instance, there's now, sort style, color style, and max # of windows. What gives? What do the new fields do? Pierce WEtter P.S. I really need to know this, especially color style as all of my icons have changed to solid black. ---------------------------------------------------------------- wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu Race For Space Grand Prize Winner. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Useless Advice #986: Never sit on a Tack.

I played around with ResEdit 1.2d1 which shows you the extra bits in the LAYO resource of the Finder. I found that there is a new bit which is labelled 'Title Click'. It is set to 0 by default. If you set it to 1, then you can double click in the title bar of any FINDER window and the folder directly above it in the disk hierarchy will be opened and brought to the front. If that folder is already open, its window will be brought to the front. The Max # of windows evidently allows you to up the maximum number of windows the finder will allow you to have open at once. (seems obvious) As far as Color Style, I haven't played much with that but did find that setting it to 1 (default is zero) made all the folders and icons black. The extra bits are labelled: Use Phys Icon Title Click Copy Inherit New Fold Inherit Ideas as to the rest of these? David Gelphman Adobe Systems, Inc.

In fiddling around, I discovered that the "Use Phys Icon" bit makes the icon for the floppies on SEs be a picture of an SE with an arrow pointing to the drive floppy is mounted in. I haven't tried asking the folks who wrote the code. (Perhaps someone in Apple would do so and post the results?) Consequently, I am not an authority to be trusted. This information is NOT coming from Apple Computer, it's coming from ME.

<6591@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu> Sort style: Probably something to do with the new Finder. Color style: What colors or patterns? (On a Mac II) Max # of windows: Could it be a multifinder thing?

These bits probably tell the Finder to use the size/displayMethod of the parent folder instead. Ditto for copying (folder staying the same vs. looking like its parent).
