Whats that one program called that like will save icon positions depending on your screen resolution, so when you switch to it again from something else, it puts everything back to where it's supposed to be? I can't remember off the top of my head. I've finally figured out a hack to force my Radeon 7000 to output to my 22" ViewSonic LCD at it's native 1680 x 1050 resolution (in full Mac OS 7.6 glor of course), but the icons are always jumping to different places, so it'd really come in handy right about now. As for the widescreen hack, I'll be sharing that once I work it out a little more. |

Restore Desktop and Desktop Resetter are two utilities listed on Version Tracker for this purpose. Their system requirements indicate OS 8, but as with many things that might not be the case. bill

Hmm I recall something else those two names aren't ringing a bell. There was some other utility that did this, and it worked under System 7 (I believe it pre-dated Mac OS  .

Finder Workspaces will do it, and a bit more too: http://scriptbuilders.net/files/finderworkspaces2.2.html You will also need Akua Sweets 1.4.1 or later and I would recommend OSA Menu too. These 2 are not too hard to find. All this stuff is free.

Akua to make it work and OSA to make life nice. (OSA is a script menu). How and why is explained in the documents of Finder Work Spaces

I tested it as well. I guess technically it works, but doesn't really satisfy me. I don't like how it's windows re-appear. Either way, I might not even need it now. I'll be talking about this hack in another thread soon. Anyone know C++ and have a C++ compiler for System 7?
