Change the colors in GoMac 1.6.
Andrew Oliver is a hero for pointing out that the colors for GoMac 1.6 are stored in a CLUT resource.
Under GoMac 2.0.3, the CLUT is stored in the ACTION GoMac™ extension in the Extensions folder.
To help me coordinate and select the colors, I used a snapshot of a menu. These are the colors I want to use:
If I position this graphic off to the side of my monitor, I can sample colors right off of it from Apple's Color Picker.
 Time to look at GoMac.
Open a copy of the control panel with ResEdit.
Find the clut resource and open them with a double-click.
Open ID# -13152
 This is the clut window. Clicking one of the seven color squares will bring up Apple's Color Picker.
You can select a new color by holding the Option key, the cursor turns into an eye-dropper, letting you pick a color from our menu screen snapshot (shown above).
Here are what the clut colors correspond to:
1 - Top line, bottom bevel
2- Main background color
3 - Text color
4 - Upper light bevel
5 - bottom bevel
6 - No idea!
7 - Divider used for info menu (not shown)
After you have changed the clut colors, save your work and quit ResEdit
Replace the original GoMac control panel and restart the computer.
This looks better! |
