(No, you're not seeing weird things, I posted first to comp.sys.mac.apps and then decided system and misc were probably better, so I subscribed to them, and here I am!) I have a few questions, and I need to figure out the answers for my own well being. I used to have both Sundesk and ClickChange running on my IIci at home, but last weekend I installed 7.0 (actually, b4), and they both broke. Here's the breakdown of what I want: Sundesk: Had Color Icons, Alert Boxes, Cursors (Sys7 has color icons, I used ResEdit 2.1 to paste the Alert Icons in color myself, so they're there, and I was using ClickChange for the cursors anyway. The Sundesk cursors aren't working right under Sys7 anyway... I checked after ClickChange busted) ClickChange: Sounds on Events, different WDEFs, Color Cursors (I installed SndControl, which works on some of the events it's supposed to under Sys7 -- not all, but better than ClickChange; the new 3Dish Mac windows are okay, so I don't miss the WDEFs too much, but Color Cursors I have to get back!) So... here's my two 'gotta haves' for 7.0... Color Cursors: the book 'ResEdit Complete' has a whole two paragraphs on Color Cursors, and I already knew they were 'crsr' resources, so it didn't help. How do I get color cursors on my mac under 7.0??? Color Icons: I turned all my Sundesk icons into 7.0 "icon families"... but I can't find where the HD icon is now, or the disk icon -- or rather, I found the floppy icon in the System File resource, but it doesn't make a floppy color like it should! Any ideas? I can't find the HD icon at all... I'm guessing it's in the Desktop DB (which has no resource fork to edit). Also (I know, I know, I only said two, but I keep thinking of more!) Disinfectant and Gatekeeper won't let me add icon families to their resource forks -- they protect them from ANY writing. How do I alter the resource map to get around this, so they can be color? I can't find where the menus are stored... they're not in System, Finder or Desktop, where are they? (I just wanted to change 'SuperBeta' to 'Special' in the 7.0b4 menus...) I hate it when stuff gets moved... Thanks in advance to whoever can help... I appreciate it. Hank. (PS: I LIKE 7.0!!!!!)
