I had the opportunity to see the demonstration of system 7.0 at my university today. Aside from all the benefits sys 7.0 will provide to the user, I noticed that it incorporated 3 dimensional window to the finder (like those on NeXT). I found this to be a bit distracting and makes the finder's windows look more like a metallic object instead of a clean white paper. Since I use my mac for word- processing, this is somewhat annoying. Any comments? -- H.Seung hseung@eniac.seas.upenn.edu 3820 Locust Walk #876 University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104

You don't have to use the colored windows - the "Color" control panel lets you set it to the good old black and white style.

You can change the colours of your windows through it. Just pick Black & White, and you'll have the classic windows back. -- Dean Yu Blue Meanie, Negative Ethnic Role Model, etc. Apple Computer, Inc.

That way you don't have to put up with the 3D look. I think the purpose is to make it look more of an object then 'plain white paper'. tim

It's even easier than that: just go to the Color control panel and set the window color to b&w -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
