I've got both 7.0b4 and 6.0.7 on my hard disk. I have my screen
configured to come up in colour when I boot up with 7.0b4 ('cos it
looks nicer), and black-and-white when I start up 6.0.7 ('cos it's
faster for when I want to do some *real* work...).
Your screen settings are stored in the "scrn" resource in the System
file. The odd thing is, the display card also seems to remember its
setting from the last time I ran "Monitors" (which would have been
under 7.0b4). Thus, when I boot up 6.0.7, the initial "Welcome to
Macintosh" screen is in colour, including the "Cool Mac" icon. Then
it suddenly switches to black-and-white, before the march of the INIT
(sorry, Extension) icons begins. And this consistently happens every
time I boot up 6.0.7.
Anyone else noticed this? I'm running a vintage slowpoke Mac II
with a moderate number of INITs, no virtual memory capability,
and far too little hard disk.
