MacOS 7.6.1 facelift.
People still using MacOS 7.6.1. It's fast enough, eat half of Mac OS 8
system memory, - just two reasons.
Many modern applications require Appearance Manager (built-in in MacOS
8.x) and it's possible to install Appearance extension 1.0.3 from Apple
SDK in 7.6.1 System Folder - so these programs can run. Some of them
still can't. When starts these applications check not availability of AM
but system version number (in Apple terminology "gestalt 'sysv' ").
Xameleon just change this gestalt to most recent 8.5.0.
More details in Read Me.
