[dumb question warning.] I just purchased a used IIcx. It had nothing on it except a very old System Folder with scads of strange modifications. I installed Sys 7 immediately, and after I took out every weirdo little file that didn't belong, it works fine, except for the menu bar. It's purple! Everything I try retains this purpleality. I can't find the responsible source anywhere! If it's any help, the pull-down menus are also tinted a nice shade of parchment (that I like), except for custom ones such as HyperCard's toolbox, which is white. I assume there's a simple utility somewhere out there that will fix this for me. The weird part is that installing system 7 (replacing the System file) and clearing out all foreign materials didn't cure my sickly menus! Hmm.

[...] > >Thanks in advance, > --Jon Well, under 6.0.7 I had a cdev called "Kolor" that could change the colors of the menu bars, menus, buttons, dialog boxes, etc. I haven't tried it under 7 because I never used it under 6, so didn't bother installing it. What I don't remember is if the changes were permanent (ie if you made the menu bar purple, then removed Kolor from the system folder, would themenu bar *stay* purple). If it would be any help, I could mail you Kolor... --Erik -- Erik Bailey | 7 Oak Knoll | Thinking Machines Corp. ejb@think.com | Arlington, MA 02174 | 245 First St. harvard!think!ejb | (617) 643-0732 | Cambridge, MA 02142 /earth is 98% full.

If anyone sees this that knows anything about the FidoNet gateway, you might wanna have a look at it. I've seen a LOT of repeat messages today (6/11), but THIS one was definitely deja vu! :-) --Erik -- Erik Bailey | 7 Oak Knoll | Thinking Machines Corp. ejb@think.com | Arlington, MA 02174 | 245 First St. harvard!think!ejb | (617) 643-0732 | Cambridge, MA 02142 /earth is 98% full.
