[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Mac II Color

shinberd@unioncs.UUCP (David Shinberg) (03/25/88)

I am developing a program using MPW Pascal 2.0 on a Mac II.  The Mac is 
set to 256 color mode and accordingly the apple is in color when I am in
MPW.  However, when I launch my application the apple becomes the old 
black one.  The same thing also happens if I am running MultiFinder.  Is 
there some initialization that I am missing?  Any help in this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
				
				Thanks

In article <614@unioncs.UUCP> you write:

  One way for this to happen is if the title of your apple menu has spaces
before the apple character.  The system will assume you don't want it to be
an apple menu and thus won't interfere with it.  Check your resource file.

Minor correction: 

To be more exact, if the menu title is not just the apple character, then
the colored apple will not appear.
