Found another sign of hope. If you open the Keyboard.preference's nib file you will find another window for setting the F-keys as hotkeys. When I get some time I will try and figure out if this can be activated. btw, does anyone have a copy of the PB Appearance.preference file? If we can...

This has been discussed many times. It is saving your Dock pinning prefs; however, the program that launches and auto-restarts the Dock tells it to pin to the center on the bottom of the screen. People are still looking for a way around this but none has been found. If you look at another of...

There is a soundsets folder (at least there was in the PB), but it doesn't seem to be implemented yet. There are several features in X that are being implemented through updates. The 4L13 update brought functionality to speakable items among other things. I think soundsets will be...

Keep in mind Omni is doing the game ports for free and they have to get all of their own software up to date as well. I think they are currently working on Heavy Metal Fakk 2. Send them an e-mail asking them to update Q3 and see what they say. They may not realize it doesn't work.

The lastest version of Brickhouse is supposed to have a way of un-installing the firewall script. You can simply remove the firewall (I think thats what its called) folder from startup items. You may need to use root because the admin doesn't have permissions.

Too bad it doesn't affect the dock's position when you change the menu selection :(.

The Quake 3 port only runs under the PB. It hasn't been updated to support the final yet.

If you look in /System/Library/Preferences and cntrl-click on dock.preference and show package contents. If you look at the DockPrefExt.nib file under /contents/Resources/[b]YOURLANGUAGE[/].lproj yu will notice that the pinning options are in the menus. Just something interesting to know.

You can also install Samba on the unix layer and mount shared volumes in winblows; however, this is a very complicated proccess and Samba is more than a headache to configure properly. I have Sharity's final version and it has some bugs: It will not show the winblows comp in the CIFS network...

Yes, Online membership is free. You might want to try the dev tools that ship with X. Project Builder can compile Carbon apps and lets you use interface builder for making the interface.

You could just attach a test file to your post for everyone to download. That would solve the html mangling problem.

If the problem is sever it usually requires you to run DFA off the CD while booted into 9. I have seen people have problems under 9 that required this. Its not that big a deal at the moment and you can get a native version of Norton when it released. On the Unix side of things: I had never...

If you place a symbolic link to the directory on the 20 GB drive in one of the user directories that user can access it remotely. For some reason a normal alias doesn't work, at least not on my system.

You do know that tar wipes the resource fork on older files, don't you? I know most of the files in X don't rely on resource forks, but Classic does. If you use this be careful or you could destroy your Classic layer.

I was just thinking that the Print Center icon in the dock should animate when printing so that you could have visual feedback when something is printing. This would be useful for situations where the printer is in another room like on a network. In 9 the desktop printer icon would put a...

I updated mine using Software Update 1.3.1 over PPPoE without any problems. You might want to check your network settings.

My Plam Vx has about a 50/50 chance that it will sync through Classic and when it does work it hangs when Avantgo tries to connect to the net. I hope Palm get the native version of Palm Desktop out soon.

Something to consider is the clock and apps that have menus that go all the way to the edge of the screen on the monitors of iMacs. I have had apps that the menus went all the way to the clock and my monitors is 17" @ 1280x1024. It would be a nice option but could cause problems w/ smaller...

Actually I just noticed that Carbon apps can use sheets. Sherlock uses a sheet for errors, the Finder uses a sheet for the goto field. If I find anymore examples of this I'll post them. Here's another question though, when you use the command to create the sheet how do you edit the interface?

Well I noticed that some things that didn't work under 4L7 now work under 4L13. For instances I tried to use the speech recognition in 7 and it would not work but it is now fully functional. So there is obviously some difference between the two versions.
