MacLED 1.3

WhosIt.There — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:59:08 +0000

Application file:

MacLED_img.sit

MacLED is a little shareware program that lets you create short animated messages on your desktop that look like scrolling LED signs. It's a great way to leave notes for yourself or others. As MacLED is a small application (only about 30k ), you can make several copies of it and run several different messages simultaneously on the same computer. MacLED runs very nicely in the background and is very hard to miss if you have an important note to remember.

HyperSlider 1.0

WhosIt.There — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 06:21:30 +0000

Application file:

HyperSlider_img.sit

HyperSlider is an application for creating and viewing interactive slideshows using invisible clickable regions on slides. The slideshows work in a similar manner to QuickTime VR tours and Myst-like games.

The slideshows are NOT standalone and require the application to be viewed. A demo slideshow is included on the disk - try finding the lamp and switching it on for a good idea of what can be achieved.

HyperSlider was created by a then-13-year-old programmer.

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

Compatibility:

The application "should" (according to the read me) work on any Mac running System 7 or better. Preferred system requirements are System 7.1 or better, QuickTime, and a colour-capable Mac with a 14" of bigger display.

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.
