ColorKnit 3.0

WhosIt.There — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 06:12:24 +0000

Application file:

ColorKnit_img.sit

According to the documentation: " ColorKnit is a simple grid-based program to help knitters create designs and give them an accurate preview of how they will look when knitted up."

Since it can save images as PICT files, ColorKnit can also be used as a pixel graphic editor.

I know nothing about knitting, so have no idea how these images can be used to actually knit clothing or what the application's knitting-based options mean.

The application is on a DiskCopy 4.2 disk image (1.44MB) in a StuffIt 3.5 archive.

Compatibility:

The application runs in black and white on monochrome Macs with MacPaint style patterns instead of colours.

Depth&Volume 1.0

WhosIt.There — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 05:44:13 +0000

Application file:

DepthVolume_img.sit

Depth&Volume is a Control Panel that lets you change the main screen depth (i.e. the number of colors displayed) or the speaker's volume on the fly with a keystroke. Depth&Volume is very small (it uses about 2K of system memory) and very easy to use ... once you get into the habit of remembering the keyboard shortcuts.

The following keys are used to change the display's colour depth (where "#" is the modifier key combination chosen in the Control Panel):

#1 = Change to 1 bit (black and white)
#2 = Change to 2 bit (4 colors or greys)

Compatibility:

Obviously the computer's capabilities will limit which Depth modes will work - you can't change to "Milllions" of colours on a Mac Plus for example.

Zipple 1.6.1

WhosIt.There — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 05:32:37 +0000

Application file:

Zipple_img.sit

Zipple is an extension and Control Panel which places an animated image of your choice over the title of the Apple, Balloon Help, or Application menu (in color if you have a color screen). Some animated images are included in the in-built library or you can create your own with the in-built editor.

Compatibility:

If you are running Zipple on OS 8 or later, you will notice a grey square appears behind your selected Zipple. This is because the background color of the menu bar was changed starting with OS 8 and unfortunately Zipple was never modified to accommodate this.

It is purely aesthetic and does not effect use.

Beyond that Zipple runs great on anything System 6 or later.
