- REGISTERING IT’S YOUR DEFAULT! AND THE 7.0 PLUS UTILITIES
- =======================================================
- Although It’s Your Default! is free, most of the 7.0 PLUS Utilities aren’t.
- If you use any of them, you must register them, one copy per computer.
-
- 7.0 PLUS Utilities is a package of all System 7.0 utilities I have written.
- You can get the disk with all of them NOW (not wait until I decide to
- upload the next program) by sending $29.95 to me. This will register
- you for all the software, will get you a disk of the software, and an
- update to the PLUS Utilities when it rolls around. It’s a pretty good
- deal. You should register your software, anyway, so why not do it
- like this? And it’s a lot cheaper this way.
-
- See the documentation which should be accompanying this file for
- more information on the 7.0 PLUS Utilities. A registration form should
- also accompany this file. Please use it to register the software.

- USING IT’S YOUR DEFAULT!
- ========================

- (post and e-mail) are given below in “About the Author”.
-
- What Does It’s Your Default! Do?
- -----------------------------
- • It’s Your Default! provides you with a means of setting the default application
- font. It can be set for the current session (until you restart), or the changes
- can be saved across restarts in Parameter RAM.
-
- • The default application font is the standard font used by applications. It should
- not be confused with the System font, which the System uses to draw menus
- and window titles. TeachText and control panels are two examples of programs
- that depend on the application font.
-
- Using It’s Your Default!
- ---------------------
- • Double-click on the It’s Your Default! icon under System 7, or open the
- Control Panel DA and select the It’s Your Default! icon under System 6.0.X
- to open the It’s Your Default! window.
-
- • Select the desired default font from the font menu (the standard font is
- Geneva). You can see how different sizes of that font appear by selecting
- from the View as menu. This menu has no effect on the application font
- itself. It merely allows you to see what sizes are present for a given font,
- and how they look. It is a good idea to use application fonts that are
- available at least in sizes 9 and 12 (even through TrueType).
-
- • When the Make changes permanent check box is on, the changes you make
- will be saved in Parameter RAM. This means that the changes will last,
- even if you restart your machine, until you change the values (through
- It’s Your Default, by zapping the PRAM, etc.). If the check box is off,
- the changes only affect the current session and are reverted to the
- normal setting when you restart your machine.
-
- • Changes are saved after you dismiss the control panel window. If you are
- making changes permanent, an alert will ask you to verify your choice.
- To bypass this alert automatically, hold down the shift key when you
- close the window. It will be interpreted as if you pressed OK.
-
- • Click on the It’s Your Default! logo for information on the program.
-
- • System 7 Note: Although It’s Your Default! is a Control Panel, it does not
- have to be in the Control Panels folder to function properly.
-
- • Also note that some programs may obtain the default font directly from
- saved Parameter RAM. For instance, you have to make changes permanent
- for the default font to be reflected in TeachText.
