Editing a running system
Authored by: Chris66 on Nov 23, '02 08:15:47AM

I confess I'm no Unix pro rather an old style macos 9 Resedit hacker who switched to X so I used the standard procedure for OS 9 hacks for my hint.
What makes me curious: Can you edit all parts of the system directly with the Interface Builder or are there files you better not touch this way?
The hack of the ProcessPanel.nib involves only pop-up windows so it's obivous that this one isn't to dangerous.

Editing a running system
Authored by: macavenger on Nov 25, '02 09:44:10PM

I've edited quite a few of the system .nib files, not too mention icon and picture files, directly while the system was running, and never had any problems. Of course, I'm also the type that has no trouble taking risks with my system, although I do have an extra, untouched copy of OS X installed on my machine just in case.
