| Adding Additional Go Menu Names and Icons to ACTION GoMac™ 2.0 by Anthony Saxton
To make these changes to GoMac 2.0, two files must be edited; The extension "ACTION GoMac™" and the PowerOn Extension by the same name. The later can be found in "Extensions:Power On Extensions:Action Utilities:ACTION GoMac™:ACTION GoMac™"
 Adding Names to GoMac:
Locate the ACTION GoMac™ extension in the Extensions folder and open it with ResEdit.
Locate and open the 'MENU' resource ID -4062. Add your changes to the menu. Close this menu, select it and "Copy."
Save the extension and open the ACTION GoMac™ file located within the "Power On Extensions" folder in the Extensions folder. Paste the menu you just copied from the regular extension. That's it! You're done!
 Adding Icons to GoMac:
Locate the ACTION GoMac™ extension in the Extensions folder and open it with ResEdit.
Create a new 'ics#' icon resource and give it the ID -13114 (Subsequent Icons will be numbered -13113, -13112, etc.) and give the resource a 4 char unique name:
 Draw or paste the icons for 'ics#', 'ics4' and 'ics8'.
Save the file, but do not close it!
Open the ACTION GoMac™ file located within the "Power On Extensions" folder in the Extensions folder.
Create a new 'cicn' resource with the ID 402 (Subsequent cicns will be numbered 403, 404, etc.).
Copy and paste the graphics from the 'ics#' & 'ics8' resources from the Extension file into the cicn.
You can download Anthony's Power Computing icon resource.
Locate the MENU resource ID -4061 and open it using Template 'MENU'. Scroll to the bottom and add the entries for your new icons. Set the MenuItem to a single space. Set the Icon# to -110 (Subsequently -109, -108, etc.). Set the Style to $00.
Locate the 'Mcmd' resource -4061 and open it.
Add to the first word the number of icons added. (One icon added will give a total of 6 icons, so set it to "0006"
 Proceed to the end of the resource and add the 4 character names from the 'icn#' resource of the GoMac Extension in the same order that you put them in the 'cicn' resources.
Save the file and quit ResEdit. You're done!
Now, replace both original files with the newly edited versions and Restart. You now have the GoMac options you really desired!
