    How can I make custom keyboard layouts for Mac OS 9?

    I don't think there are any slovak localizations for OS 9, since we started having localized software in mid-2000's, and if there is, the keyboard is most likely QWERTZ (to which I'm not used to). I'll probably see what I can do with the website you've sent me.  :)

    How can I make custom keyboard layouts for Mac OS 9?

    I’d like to make a slovak keyboard layout for my OS 9 iMac G3, but I don’t know how. Can I just copy a keyboard layout from the system suitcase and edit it with ResEdit?

    How can I make custom folder icons with ResEdit? (OS 9.2.2)

    I tried creating a new Icon file in a different folder and it didn’t help, but Iconographer does the job well.

    How can I make custom folder icons with ResEdit? (OS 9.2.2)

    Makes sense, since ResEdit development stopped in mid 90’s and Mac OS 9 is from 1999. Too bad there’s no Mac OS 9-ready version of ResEdit. :(

    How can I make custom folder icons with ResEdit? (OS 9.2.2)

    Iconographer does the job. But I wonder why ResEdit can’t make the custom icons work? It seems like in order to make the icons appear, Finder wants additional resources not just the icon resources themselves...

    How can I make custom folder icons with ResEdit? (OS 9.2.2)

    Just pasting the transparent icon from Photoshop replaces the transparent pixels with white pixels. When I open the Icon file inside the folder, there's only icns binary resource, with which I don't know what to do. When I create the finder icon group (icl8, icl4, etc., you know what I mean), it...

    My iMac G3 was damaged during the shipment and I need new beige CRT mount

    Yeah, you're right, I don't think I'm going to buy another iMac for parts because it might get broken aswell, therefore I think I'll resort to searching local markets for a defective iMacs or maybe travel to Vienna or other places in Austria near the border with Slovakia. Do you happen to know...

    My iMac G3 was damaged during the shipment and I need new beige CRT mount

    My iMac G3 had arrived today and when I unpacked it, I've noticed some beige plastic around the VGA and RAM lids, I took it out. Then I noticed that the bottom left CRT holder is cracked and there's a screw visible, I opened the iMac and while I was opening it more and more beige plastic pieces...

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    Hi everyone, I thank all of you for your help, the seller didn’t want to discuss the price so I didn’t buy it. I shall look out for better SE/30 deals.  :-/

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    oh yes, we have local marketplace application/website, there are sometimes vintage Macs but they don't have good enough quality for fulfilling what I'm in search of (that's also how I got one of my Mac CC's, which was actually decent). And facebook marketplace... I've heard about it, is it any...

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    Yeah, you’re probably right, speaking of other marketplaces, can you recommend me some? European craigslist is quite unfruitful... I don’t know any other marketplaces. :/

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    Thanks for help :) I’ll try to dispute with the seller but if he doesn’t change his mind, I’m not gonna buy it. But yes, you’re right about waiting, I too browsed eBay for a while until I found my Mac Plus.

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    So, the seller responded to my complaint about the price: but I'm not ready to give up the SE/30 yet, can you give me reasons why it's not worth the price? Because I don't have enough knowledge to definitely say why it's not worth the price, the best I can tell the seller is that I've bought...

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    yeah, either way I choose, I'll have to dispute with the seller. You're right about the shipping, iMac G3's have a quite an unfit shape for shipping outside of original boxes, but I'm kind of willing to risk it. Either way again I'll have to message the seller to pack it carefully even with...

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    hmm, alright, I'm in kind of a dilemma, on one hand I can try getting this Mac SE/30 (Which I won't be able to repair immediately due to the current events) on the other hand I've also found a working iMac G3 indigo for 300€ in Germany and I can't quite decide which should I buy, other factor to...

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    Alright, I'll try to dispute with the seller to lower the price to 100 - 150€.

    I'm considering buying a Macintosh SE/30, the seller said it has some defects. Is it worth it?

    oh, well, I asked the seller if I can see some pics of insides anyways... I'm gonna send him another message on how to open a Mac.
