This may be an odd question, but does anyone know what font was used for the MS-DOS packaging/branding in the early 90s?

Added some UI feedback for trackpad mode. When you drag along the trackpad side of the screen, you get a larger circular cursor underneath your finger. When you press on the button side, a visible shadow appears.

This feature is a work in progress and may be a bit buggy.

Some more updates for my website: I added an additional icon pack to the downloads page, and a newer version of the emulator icon pack.

This isn't even "UX vs UI". It's "the purpose of the fucking thing" vs "it sounded cool in a stakeholder meeting"
Thanks Apple I didn’t need to see my todo list anyway

A new build is out with a refined window zoom animation and some other minor changes.

This is still kind of buggy...

I've updated the startup and shutdown animations to something a bit more accurate. The Lisa's CRT does a nice fade-in effect on boot up, and a gentle fade-out effect on shutdown.

If you miss the original old-school CRT animations, they can be toggled in the settings.

I am also going to pull down all my Music widget type apps as well because they’re now completely incompatible with #macOSTahoe Music app. IDK why Apple decided to make these changes.

I’ve been submitting feedback every beta since B1 and they’re still broke in the RC.

You can now toggle the menu clock's visibility. I've also consolidated all menu settings to a single preference pane. The new build is being pushed out now.

New build is out with menubar eyes, and a barebones quick-and-dirty "menubar setup" preference pane.

Pushed a new build. The startup animation/screen should now respect your display scaling settings.

For the next build, I've made some improvements to the way pixel-aspect-ratio scaling works. 3:4 PAR mode now displays pixels that are exactly 3px by 4px on a 2X high-DPI display.
