I basically follow Cameron's procedure, with the addition of Open Transport (I find it to be more stable and maybe a little faster. I also tweak my settings a lot and restarting after every little change is a pain) and the Appearance Extension/related from 8.0/8.1. I like the platinum look, and it doesn't seem to slow things down much or at all.
Then I get a bit more radical and use Resedit to copy the icons from and 8.1 System/Finder and paste them into the 7.1 System/Finder, thereby giving most of the rest of the system the 8.1 treatment (task switcher icon, etc). I also like to find the icon that looks like the Mac Model (often in the enabler) and paste that over the Picasso thing on the Welcome to Macintosh screen. I had a very nice custom Duo, but I think I lost it... I'll have a whole section, probably with downloadable resources for all that, available sooner or later :) Scott Holder -----Original Message----- From: Vintage Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Paul Stamsen Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 8:30 AM To: Vintage Macs Subject: Re: TCP/IP and System 7 <snip> Scott, Would you mind explaining about the items and work you add to 7.1 to make it so much better? of should I wait for your page? -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
