M.PS.SubLaunching TN126 [1/2]
“Sub(Launching) from a High-Level Language”
    Note: Developer Technical Support takes the view that
launching and sublaunching are features which are best
avoided for compatibility (and other) reasons, but we want
to make sure that when it is absolutely necessary to
implement it, it is done in the safest possible way. This
Technical Note discusses the “safest” method of calling
_Launch from a high-level language that supports inline
assembly language with the option of launching or |

M.TB.ColorWindowsIn7 TN298 [1/2]
“Color, Windows and 7.0”
    System 7.0 introduces a new look for the Macintosh
Desktop. In order to implement those changes 'wctb' and
'cctb' resources have changed in both form and use; it is
now up to developers to take the lead and help the new
standard work. The task can be divided in two main areas:
in most cases all developers have to do is to stick to the
system resources in order to provide a homogeneous feel to
the user; developers in this group need only make sure the |
M.TB.ColorWindowsIn7 TN298 [2/2]
old 'wctb's are disposed of and that all dialogs and windows
are based on CGrafPorts. The other case is more restricted
and involves developers that need to use their own colors;
these applications have to define the resources using the
new templates and do a careful selection of the colors in
order to not break the color scheme implemented by the
system. Changes since January 1991: Removed note about
7.0 beta. Added mention to GetGray and added reference to
where to find the sample 'WDEF'|
M.TB.DeskTopFile TN29
“Resources Contained in the Desktop File”

information will help you get the correct interface
performance.|
M.TB.Multifinder TN158
“Frequently Asked MultiFinder Questions”
    This technical note provides answers to some of the more
frequently asked questions about MultiFinder. The
