I don't know about the background color, but I did update my quartzdisplay editing tutorial with information about editing the Tiger startup progress bar. http://lonestar.utsa.edu…

Very nice!!! Thanks!!

If WaitingForLoginWindow is an app, does this mean it can be replaced with a custom-built app? The name implies that it simply waits for the login window to open, then quits (prog…

WaitingForLoginWindow is an "application" with graphics inside it, yes. The graphics inside can be replaced with a custom made. For a detailed walkthrough, including the restrictio…

Has anyone figured out how to customize the login screen (not the login/boot panel) in Tiger. In 10.3 you could edit /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/loginwindow.…

If anyone is interested, modifying the login screen in 10.4 is very similar to modifying it in 10.3. It turns out the file to edit is /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlu…

I followed the guide you made, but when I open it in resorcerer I don't get the same hex and numbers. I don't get 36840 (10), I only go up to 112EC, then it stops. Any idea where …

I'm admittedly ignorant when it comes to Resorcerer, but my file looks like Kitsune's (lines/offset only up to 112EC). However...I did find the %PDF at line/offset 9000. The hex …

Does anyone know if there is a way to "hook" the running app WaitingForLoginWindow. That way we could run our own custom app over the login window using whatever sized graphics we…

I tried all this weeks ago - I actually just replaced WaitingForLoginWindow with a script to just call loginwindow - it worked and you didn'ty get any progress bar at all.

Alright, I'm on the whole digital lifestyle kick. I've gone through vonage for the phone, itunes for music, iPhoto for pics. and all that... now I'm looking at Eye TV 200 instead …

EyeTV is great. There is another current topic with more details, but, in summary, it is worth it. As far as the Tivo comparison, you have more control and flexibility with EyeTV…

Can someone give me some simple directions for adding perl modules to OS X 10.4.1? I have done this on Red Hat, but am just starting to do perl coding on OS X. Thanks in adva…

CPAN is your friend. You can either use the cpan script or the CPAN Perl module. Information about the cpan script is available in the man page (man cpan). To use the module (my pr…

I just turned on my PB, and there's no sound at all coming out of it. Yes, the volume is not in mute, and iTunes isn't on mute either. I tried connecting my external speakers and…

Meh, nevermind. FIxed with a restart.

I know there are older threads if I search, but capacities increase and I just wanted to check the current situation. I've got a 10GB HD in an iBook G3 500. Can anyone tell me the…

You can get a 100GB HD for laptops now. It shouldn't be hard to find a decent hard drive for under $100. Try TigerDirect or Newegg for some of the better prices around the net.

Any regular ATA laptop drive on the market today will work. tooki

i put a 60gig drive in my rev A ibook, was a majour pain getting that thing apart but its worked fine ever since. i need to take it out and replace the stock hd in my 12" g4 ibook,…

I have the same iBook (500Mhz) and last year I replaced the 10GB hardrive with a Toshiba MK4025GAS which is a 40GB drive running (i think) at 5400 rpm. For how to do it look at th…
