- CFloppy 1.0 Read Me
- -------------------
-
- by Andrew Welch

- 3/15/92
-
- CFloppy works only under System 7 on color-capable Macintoshes.
-
- CFloppy is a system extension for System 7.0 and later that rectifies
- a shortcoming in the wonderful Finder 7.0: floppy disk icons are
- displayed as the ugly old black and white icon while the rest of the
- desktop is bursting with color!
-
- CFloppy causes the Finder to display beautiful full-color icons in
- place of the black and white floppy disk icons when you are in 16 color
- mode or greater. Just drag CFloppy onto your System Folder icon and
- restart your Macintosh to activate it.
-
- CFloppy is completely free; I hope you enjoy it!

- Notes for Hackers
- -----------------
-
- If you don't like the icon I provided for CFloppy, you CAN change it
- with ResEdit, but there are some precautions. The resources you
- will need to change are 'icl4' #256 (the 16 color floppy disk icon)
- and 'icl8' #256 (the 256 and greater color floppy disk icon). Here
- are some things to keep in mind:
-
- 1) Work only on a COPY of CFloppy in case you screw something up.
- 2) DO NOT modify the 'ICN#' #256 (b/w floppy disk icon) or the
- floppy disk icon mask; this will cause CFloppy to no longer work.
- 3) DO NOT distribute modified versions of CFloppy.
- 4) Use only the Apple recommended colors in the 256 color icons so that
- the icons will dim properly when they are clicked on.
- 5) Make sure the color disk icons you create fit exactly within the
- icon mask or they will draw strangely.
- 6) Send me a copy of your work if you can!
