SmoothType 2.3.1

Application file:

smoothtype_2.3.1.sit

SmoothType brings Mac OS X style font smoothing to machines running Mac OS 7 through 9.2. It makes your screen look more like the printed page. Using a technique called anti-aliasing, SmoothType blurs the jagged edges of bitmap fonts with shades of gray, effectively doubling the screen resolution.

Compatibility:

This is a FAT application. It works on PPC and 68k Macs as well. (68040 cpu recommended)

Power Windows 2.4.5

OSX2000 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:49:15 +0000

Application file:

Power_Windows_245.sit

Power Windows is a small control panel that lets you tap into your Mac's unused processor power to perform amazingly cool effects with windows and menus (so I guess I should really call it "Power Windows and Menus", or maybe "Greg's Power Stuff"). The primary function of Power Windows is to let you drag the entire contents of windows instead of just a dotted outline. The control panel lets you choose between Solid Dragging and Translucent Dragging, and you can even Use Multitasking with solid dragging.

Compatibility:

Mac OS 7.0 to 9.2.2

Greg's Browser

Gregs_Browser_12.sit

Greg's Browser is an Control Panel which provides a multi-pane method of browsing the Mac's disks in a similar way to Mac OS X's Column View ...

Greg Landweber's comments on his browser:

Compatibility:

Version 1.3 needs a color Macintosh with Mac OS 7.0 to 9.2 (Basilisk or SheepShaver) to run.

Versions 1.2 & 1.3 are native 68k only.

The newer version 2.7 released in 2000, is both 68k & PPC native, also Macintosh Appearance Manager aware (runs on systems to 9.2.2 OK).

This software is shareware and version 2.7 may still be affected by this. See available for purchase link above.
