TechnoWindows is a control panel that changes the normal windows to a high-tech window style (NOT the high-tech theme in MacOS 8). The control panel lets you change many different aspects of the windows, such as color and the appearance of the close box and zoom boxes.
INSTALLATION
To install TechnoWindows, drag TechnoWindows to your System Folder and then drag the TechnoWindows Data file to your Extensions Folder. Restart your computer.
HINTS
If you want temporarily disable the TechnoWindows, hold down the caps-lock key while opening the window.
BUGS
When old versions of WindowShade shrink the window, there is a "tail" on the bottom of the title bar. The WindowShade shipped with System 7.5.3 works well for me. TechnoWindows is incompatible with Microphone Pro because of a bug in Microphone. Hold down the caps-lock key while launching Microphone. TechnoWindows is also incompatible with First Class client.
Please E-MAIL me if you find other bugs.
DISTRIBUTION
TechnoWindows is Shareware. You may freely distribute it as long as you don’t charge for it. Upload it everywhere! You MAY include TechnoWindows on disk or CD-ROM shareware collections provided I have the option to purchase the collection at a discount. When TechnoWindows is distributed, it must be accompanied by ALL of the documentation.

OTHER FORMS OF REGISTRATION
If you don’t want to send money and you're a Mac programmer, I will gladly accept your original Macintosh software. Please don’t send me software unless you’re the author. I will also accept any hardware donations. Do you have an old Mac collecting dust? I'll put it to good use. I'm looking for a PowerBook. Let me know if you see any good deals.
WHY REGISTER?
I'm in college and shareware is my only spending money, and any money I receive will help me tremendously. The money I get encourages me to update, maintain, and enhance this software. Once you send in your fee, you never have to send me another cent for TechnoWindows, no matter how many times I upgrade it. Don’t forget to send suggestions for improvements and bug reports.

Erik's WindowsDEF changes your windows to resemble Microsoft 3.1 windows. Rainbow Windows makes your windows slightly resemble X-Windows and have full control over color. BeBox windows makes your windows look like the windows from the Be Operating system found on BeBox computers. You can download my other programs from my website or from any Info-Mac mirror.
