That really took some time but I finally got down to the culprit !
I simply can not refrain from playing with Colors by Joel West
(a wonderful CDEV that came with an APPL called Colorizer that I
tend to use much less.
Anyhow to my dismay I started to get systemproblems like stack
run into heap out of memory errors and similar (5 meg on a Mac II)
both under Multifinder and Finder and looking at the memory used by
the System and Finder it was obvious that the Finder munched up all
the available memory in no time (well 20-30 secs) and then either
la bomba ID = 25 or the controlpanel went down out of memory and
only reboot would get it back.
Now hear this... - the also very nice (but I guess I will have
to live without them actually a kluge is to have them in a resouce
read at boot by suitcase and to remember to close it before fiddling
with menu- windowcolors and such) The system alert cicns created with
Color tools (anyone knows what that is ? the about says cicn,crsr
& ppat editor, sounds like fun!?) by Scott Anguish and Mark Steinberg
of Graphic Applications that someone passed along on Delphi sems to be
the bad guys. I would love to have color icons in my alert dialog boxes
(and everywhere else :- { ) and I would be grateful for any suggestions
or fingers pointing to the guys that wrote them. I guess its impossible
since I recall that he said he had to get off the net but...
Well what I really would like is to hear Joel West expounding on
the Inner chapters ( No Im not referring to the Zhuangzi Neipian or
the Platform sutra, but the IM 1-5 & esp. 5 of course) or *of course*
the people responsible for the cicns!
