About

As soon as I learned of the release of Netscape 1.1b, I ftp'd a copy and tried it out. Excellent though the application is, the startup splash picture is conspicuous by its dreadfulness (especially on a monitor displaying 16 or 24 bit color). I suppose that Netscape Communications Corp may well replace it in the final release, but I decided to beat them to it and after 15 minutes with Resedit and Photoshop I came up with a version more aesthetically pleasing. I used Michael HechtUs ResCompare to simplify the upgrade process for others and named it "Netscape splash-screen patch". The patch is, of course, completely freeware and I hope I'm not stepping on any Netscape toes in releasing it to the Mac community. If anybody wants to send me email with comments on my effort, they would be more than welcome. J. Colin R. Hunter Virology Laboratories, University of Maryland at Baltimore chunter@umabnet.ab.umd.edu
