Okay... now that I found the trashcan icon in the System file vs the Finder,
and I have my black cat back, gotta work on "re-staggering" icons.
Specifically, I used to have the staggering set so that the name of the
lower icons slipped under the name of the upper icons, but were still above
the icons in the row below. Like so (excuse the character graphics):
+----+ +----+
| | +----+ | |
| | | | | |
+---+----+---+ | | +---+----+----+
+-----------++--+----+--++------------+
+------------+
+----+ +----+
| | +----+ | |
| | | | | |
+---+----+---+ | | +---+----+----+
+-----------++--+----+--++------------+
+------------+
Now with 7.0, they're staggered so severely the names of the lower icons
overlap the icons below, like so, covering the next level of icons with
names:
+----+ +----+
| | | |
| | | |
+---+----+---+ +----+ +---+----+----+
+------------+ | | +-------------+
| |
+----+ +---+----+---+ +----+
| | +------------+ | |
| | | |
+---+----+---+ +----+ +---+----+----+
+------------+ | | +-------------+
I hate this! But I can't stand not staggering (yeah, I noticed 7.0 doesn't
overlap names in the straight alignment). Any way of altering the staggering
(was it vertical phase before?)?
Thanks,

Wish I could get that back, or something closer to that. One of the few nits I have to pick about the 7.0 changes, most of the rest of the changes I like. - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
