The Software Archive is divided into several pages – Icon and Mac OS X software items are grouped on a separate pages. In cases where the name begins with a number, it is filed under the name of the number ie: 8Tuner is found under the "E's". This archive is based on reader’s suggestions and is not meant to hold every piece of software there is. Other sites do that.
Aaron Light is an extension that makes Mac OS 8 look more like Mac OS 8! It patches the progress bars, floating windows, dialog box backgrounds, and menu glitches in third party applications that are not yet Appearance-savvy to help them conform to the Mac OS 8 Platinum interface. It also substitutes Espi Sans Bold 10 for Chicago 12. I was a big fan of Now Utilities even through all the crashes! :) I was doubtful any version could exist that would work flawlessly. Power On may just have pulled it off though. Components released so far have proven very stable on my machine. Action Files will allow full customizing of the Open/Save dialog boxes, Action Menu's will provide you with just about any menu customizing you can think of. Action WYSIWYG will give you a visually informative font menu in most applications and GoMac will give you the (only) desirable feature of Windoze machines – the Task Bar. A ResExcellence Edit will beef up almost any version of GoMac you may have! A-Dock by Jérome Foucher is like the Application Switcher that comes built-in with Mac OS but on steroids... What is different about it: A-Dock is minimized to one icon when you don't use it. So it saves space on your monitor. A-Dock sticks to the screen edges. Switching your monitor resolution will not move the dock to a place you don't want like the App Switcher does everytime I play Quake 2. A-Dock displays a menu when you control-click (or click&hold with FinderPop) from where you can quit or hide an application. If Wapp pro 2.7 or newer is also installed, you have access to all the windows of each application. Find more "Skins" here! Agent Audio and Agent Audio Pro by Clixsounds allows for easy sound manipualtion and creation: "The Mac was made to be customized...especially when it comes to audio, as all Macs come with the native ability to play sounds. Some software companies halfheartedly acknowledge this by adding a few sounds to their products but hiding them deep within the program, thus leaving you with little ability to use the sounds YOU want to hear. Now you can do something about it." Adds additional menus to the Finder (icons or text!), that contain aliases to your favorite items. This is especially useful on smaller screens when menu bar space is at a premium. AliasMenu is now compatible with Mac OS 8.5.x Amico by Dennis Chronopoulos is a utility for the apple menu. It simply lets you change the order of the items that appear in the apple menu, in a very easy way. In addition, you can insert divider lines to group related items together. Multi-Languages available also. In todays world even emails are sometimes not immediate enough for communication. In steps AOL with a real time chat client. Provided as a cross-platform application, you will find both casual and business productivity increasing as you use this wonderful tool to communicate with friends and business partners alike. The answer to your question is yes!! We have provided several edits to help IM become even better. ApplWindows is an older but stable Control Panel that seems to remain a viable candidate for Mac OS 7.0 through 9.0. It will replace the need to use Apple's Application Switcher and provides many very useful additions to program switching such as keyboard shortcut and program launching. AppTab by DragonOne Software provides you with a hot-key combination, such as command + Tab, similar to that is found on Windoze machines, that lists all open applications in a pop up window and provides a way to navigate them. "AppTab is a control panel which lets you accomplish this task with an attractive 3D dialog and color icons of all open applications! You can also quit any open application without manually switching to the application. Now compatible with Mac OS 9. Specially made Apple script for the readers of ResExcellence by a reader of ResExcellence. This script will configure the scroll bars and Application palette using friendly dialogs. Weedhopper Press says it all: "AppearanceHopper fills customization holes in the standard Mac OS 8.5" With this control panel installed (as well as the included font) you will be able to customise the System fonts, Application Switcher, Scrolling and the Finder Views settings! AutoPurge by John Schilling is yet another way to get rid of the unwanted files found in the Temp Folder. It is still needed for Mac OS 9.0.4 as the problem has not been fixed. Works for all foriegn languages of the Mac OS. (see also EmptyTempFolder and Eradicator) Back-Drop by Nedwerk From the webpage: "Just drag a picture file onto Back-Drop's icon, and that picture becomes your desktop background! You no longer need to trudge through the Appearance control panel every time you see a picture you want on your desktop." Bail from Poppybank is an older control panel that provides a very useful action. It will allow you to stop an application from loading if you accidentally launched it. From the read me all one must do is "click the mouse button or hit command period while the application icon is flashing and the application will quit, before it even had a chance to start. Replaces the Apple Menu Options control panel. BeHierachic is faster and more full featured. Now comes with a Contextual Menu plug in. New version is compatible with Mac OS 8.1 through 9.x. Also Clssic under Mac OS X and Multi-user login. Button Key is a Control Panel which helps you to use dialog and alert boxes without using the mouse. When ButtonKey is running, simply typing the first few characters of a button’s name will have the same effect as a click on the button (for “button”, read button, check box or radio button) Click, there it is! by Richard Cardona is an extension that will allow you to navigate open/save dialog boxes in a new way. "With Click, there it is!, you completely bypass nagivating inside the Open/Save dialog by clicking outside of the Open/Save window frame. You change the Open/Save locations by clicking on Finder windows! Previously, this simply beeps and does nothing. There isn't much feedback (perhaps a flash as the listing redraws) but the Open/Save folder listing does change as you click on Finder windows. You can even click on the Desktop itself to change the Open/Save location to the Desktop." This is one of these programs that sort of grows on you. I have been playing with it since its release and now find it almost indispensable. If you use clippings at all you will know they are absolutely great time savers, until you want to edit the information they contian. Then you are dead in the water. This program by everyday software will allow you to create & edit text, picture, and URL clippings. This program takes clippings a step further. Clip Snippel by FMR Software is a notepad or text clipping editor. It is very dynamic and accepts URL addrresses, email, and even website clippings. These can further beedited by dragging them onto Clip Snippel and making your changes there or just creating a clipping by the drag and drop action. Coaster by Christian Roth From the read me: "Coaster is a little direct-to-disk recording utility writing standard AIFF files. It features setting of input source, sample rate and sample size, mono/stereo selection, input gain (stereo where available), accurate level meters with headroom indication, clipping detection. Further features: click elimination, automatic recording based on incoming signal level with file splitting, and manual file splitting on the fly; balloon help; supports AppleScript (timer recording script included). Performs very well in the background." Converter by Dany Qumsiyeh converts decimal to and from hex, octal, binary, and ascii. Useful to someone during Hex editing. Cookie Cutter by Scott Burnham is a great little utility. From the read me: "There are a few applications available which trash the MagicCookie file on a regular basis. This stops any site from being able to track you, but it will also lose any useful cookies, such as ones used for user authentication. Cookie Cutter gives you more control of the MagicCookie file. It allows you to selectively remove cookies that have been placed in your MagicCookie file." Because the page is in German I have uploaded the file to ResExcellence for easier download. The Homepage is here however. CoolViews is a utility that adds functionality and visual enhancements to the MacOS 8.x Finder. With CoolViews installed, you can reorder and resize columns in Finder window list views, get rid of shaded sort columns and row separators, set global list view preferences, override the date and time formatting used by the Finder, and even enable "secret" columns. Some of CoolViews' functionality is now part of MacOS 8.5.x. For this reason CoolViews will not be updated for 8.5 or higher. Apple's great Copy and Paste feature has simply not kept up with the times. Virtually everyone uses this feature but often find themselves wishing that they did not have to limit the function to just one copy and paste execution. In steps CopyPaste by Script Software. Boasting many nice features such as the ability to select from a menu over over 100 clipboards, (wow-that is a lot of cutting and pasting) clip sets and drag and drop abilities to name just a few. CursorWrap is an older extension that will allow you to move your cursor to the screens edge and keep going...suddenly it appears on the opposite side of your screen. This is really useful and once you get use to it allows you to cover a lot of screen real-estate quickly and easily. Custom Menus by Marc Moini provides you with the ability to "tear" off menus and place them on the desktop for better use. Addtionally it will allow you to create your own menus filled with items that you use often. This is "officially" limited to OS 7.0-8.x. It is not confirmed for use on 8.6+.
