Hi PhoenixG27,

Hi again zebee

Most (probably all) of the icons you're looking for are in the resource fork of the "System Resources" file (found in the System Folder). They're in the "icns" resource. Here are a...

Hi Zeebe,

Although I realize that there was indeed an "Appearance" extension in OS 8, I too find your post a little confusing. :confused:

In your Memory control panel, try using the "Custom" setting (maybe 8000K to 10000K) instead of the Default setting for the Disk Cache. The Default setting is an "estimate" and could...
