[comp.sys.mac.misc] Adding color to Eyeballs

hasses@prism.cs.orst.edu (Stephen Haase) (05/21/91)

There is a little init called Eyeballs that puts up eyeballs on the menu bar 
that follow your cursor around. The only problem with it is that it is B&W.
I wanted to add color to it, but am having little luck with resedit. Basically
what I've done is to paste in a cicn resource and translate the B&W Icon
resource into it. Then I made the resource numbers in the cicn equal to its
counterpart in the icon resource. So I have the B&W stuff in the Icon and the
color in the Cicn, both with the identical resource numbers. I reboot and it
is still B&W...ack. Any suggestions?

it is likely that the INIT doesn't recognize your hard work.  give up.

btw, this shouldn't be an INIT anymore.  if i get a moment i'll write
a tiny MF app that does something similar (and friendlier, IMO).

ps: that's just my opinion concerning INITs vs. MultiFinder.  your
    mileage may vary ...

Anyone wanting eyes to watch them, should checkout Reagan Speaks.  A neat
multifinder (7.0 friendly) application that not only follows the cursor (
his eyes do) it will give you advice on compatible software for sys. 7.0.
Look for it in the archives.  I played for a day, then canned it.  I can't
afford to keep much shareware on my mac at work, and I can't yet afford one
at home...

You ought to be able to colorize the picts in this one.
