Who can list all extensions on a picture?

[slomacuser]

I know the standard ones that came with the OS - QuickTime, Color Picker, Sound Manager, Speech Manager, Now Utilities also, Iomega, After Dark, ... what are the others, and what they do?

Many I don't know !...

Row 2 last col, and row 5 first col are SpeedDoubler Ctrl panel and extension , said to be good for ... speeding up your system.

Row 5 col 9, I think it's "Wish" or "Wish I were", to change the Gestalt ID of the Mac.

First under the progress bar, it's Kaleidoscope, You must know that one.

Row 3 first, AfterDark, you know that one too.

Third one under the progress bar, I think it's iControl ctrl panel for changing system icons, from the IconFactory, but not sure.

Row 2 col 11 is Snapz-pro, Screenshot utility.

Row 2 col 7 , it's Popchart, font utility.

Row 3 col 11, can't remember the name, but found it installed on a Powerbook recently, makes a small dot "ball" move and bounce across the menu bar, funny.

All the ones that have a "Now" are from a the "Now Utilities" bundle, does many things :

Is Watcher 2.0 (very similar to Eyes and MyEyes) both eyes will follow the arrow cursor.

What's the point of loading so much crapola?

 

[techknight]

to eat up precious memory? I dunno. Or a race whos got the most extensions? 

Anyways: Conflict Catcher, itll tell you exactly what they all are.

Somebody posted a screen shot of a screen full of extensions on their Mac on the NYMUG's Newsletter long ago... some 200+ icons filling the screen!

 

[Anonymous Freak]

In the order they appear on the screen:

AppleTalk, Stuffit control panel, ?, ?, ?, Adobe Type Manager

3 Now utilities (see above,) PC Exchange, A 'print-to-PDF' utility, A screen capture utility whose name escapes me, ?, A modem status utility whose name escapes me, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, Speech Control Panel, Speed Doubler control panel,

After Dark, 3x Control Strip, Date & Time, ?, Norton Disk Light, Norton Disk Rescue, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, More About this Mac, 3 "Now utilities" (see above,) 

 
Microsoft OLE, ? (Folder namer of some kind, IIRC,) Printer share, 4 x QuickTime, a Norton utility whose name escapes me, ?, Sound (OS standard), ?, Speech Manager, Radius Rocket?, ?, ?, 

 
AppleShare, ?, ?, Color Picker, wallpaper utility whose name escapes me, ?, Find File, AppleScript, ? Foreign File Access, ?, ?, Iomega Tools (didn't load, no Zip or Jaz drive connected,) Numlock utility?, ?,

 
Speed Doubler extension, Anti-virus product whose name escapes me (which annoys me, it's the main one!) 3 "Now" utilities (Now Up-to-Date was the most famous, but they made MANY little utilities,) Open Transport, MacTool, MacEyes, ?, ?, AOL instant messenger quickmenu, 4 x Apple CD driver, AppleGuide, that little thing that shows when network activity is happening, AppleScript

 
 
 
Sorry, I don't know all of the Now utilities off the top of my head. I have a system with them all loaded, and could find the name of them all if you're really that interested.

As for "why"? "Hey, look at all the icons that load when I turn on my computer!" is about it.  I mean, there are multiple conflicting ones there (ones that do different things at the far upper-right of the screen, for example.)

Starting from top left:

TCP/IP Control Panel,  Aladdin (Stuffit) Expander, ?, Window Monkey, Zipple, Adobe Anti-Aliasing

After Dark: Popular Screensaver

Kaleidoscope: Lets you change the theme of the windows and menu bar.

Custom Mouse Cursor: (The blue one) Someone with pixel skills made a custom cursor extension. My brothers and I used to use ResEdit to make our own. (Still have them too!)

Decor Wallpaper Extension: Decor was a wallpaper manager.

I think that the extensions are fun and useful it would be preatty boring without them.

 

[galgot]

Yep thats one thing I miss in OS X

 

[aplmak]

I have to agree I miss them... this was something I REALLY enjoyed before OS X... Even the hokey little things like "MyEyes" and such... Extensions were so cool... I remember NetBunny and other cool network extensions.. I suppose there wasn't much $$$ in the additional features they gave you so it wasn't really all that important to give up.. But I spent many of hours playing and troubleshooting the conflicting ones...

 

[olePigeon]

I can't remember if it's in my Macintosh Joker book, but there used to be a Control Panel or Extension that would load a bazillion fake extensions at boot.  The entire screen would be filled with extensions.
