Color
Picker (2.1)
You need to be in a graphics program to see the Color Picker in action. The color picker appears when you want to choose a special color.
A simple way to see the Color Picker is to go to the Finder and select "Preferences" in the Edit menu. Click on one of the colored buttons (labels) to select a new color. Then choose the Crayon Picker from your options in the left-hand panel.
Advance your computer's date by a few years and the crayons in the crayon picker will be dulled.
- Go to the Color Picker and hold down Shift while selecting the Crayon Picker.
As you drag your cursor over the different crayons, you will notice that the crayon names have changed to credits.
The names can be found at I.D. -5749 of the STR# resource. It is a list of names and phrases.
- Now look at IDs -5755 though -5735 in the STR
resource of the actual extension:
-5755 We have lingered...
-5751 in the chambers of the sea
-5746 by sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brownÖ
-5742 'til human voices wake us
-5735 and we drown.
These are the closing lines of T.S. Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, a meloncholy poem bemoning life in general from the point of view of the bourgeoise. You see, not only are Apple engineers good at making software but they can quote literature too!
