[Ti] OSX 3 Desktop Icons

[JFL]

Change is bad?  Change is good?  Halo'ed icons as opposed to grayed and
blocked out icons when they're selected?

It's something Apple Programmers did to preserve the appearance of the icons
from 10.2 to 10.3 -- I mean if you're going to have these beautifully huge
icons (some very photo-realistic), why have them grayed and blocked out?

So they put a halo around them and rounded off the corners of the highlight
over the filename.  What I don't like is that the halos of active files
disappear when you select something else -- it's nice to have some
indication that the folder or file is open.

Don't know if there's a fix, but I'm sure someone will find it if it's a
buried feature.  I like the halos, by the way... I'm such a troublemaker!

I use Panther (OS X.3) on all my laptops -- fan is fine and snaps on when it
gets silly hot.  Make sure you're following all the tips to keep your laptop
cool -- place them on solid table tops, avoid putting them on carpets or
tablecloths... etc.  The better the heat can flow away from the bottom, the
happier the PowerBook will be.
