Fix the script menu icon

Someone over at the AppleScript Discussion boards grumbled about the lousy black icon that
ScriptMenu.menu displays. He also mentioned that when you click-hold on it, a perfecly good icon shows up ... that got me thinking that maybe somebody accidently swapped the icon and the mask file names. So here's how to switch them:
- 1) find ScriptMenu.menu on your hard drive.
- click-hold on it and select "Show package contents"
- navigate to ScriptMenu.menu/Contents/Resources
- make backups of these two files (in case you want to put it back the other way or doing the hack causes some unforseen problem): 9likemenumask2.tiff and blackmask2.tiff
- swap their filenames
- log out, log back in
Now the black mask will be used when you click and hold, and the whitish one will be the default.
[Editor's note: I'm not sure if they're reversed or not; ScriptMenu.menu looks and behaves just like the other menubar additions I have ... but if it bothers you, certainly no harm should come from swapping a couple of TIFF filenames around!]
