    This Forum on Classilla

    I saw in another thread that this forum could be used with Classilla. Tried on my Clamshell (with Panther) and got an error about the encryption. I'm going directly to forums.macrumors.com as @bunnspecial said in that other thread. Any ideas? Thanks, Henry

    Post your Theme! (PowerPC)

    With all the great themes out, I'm sure at least half of us are using one. Some may be using a combination. I thought that this may be a fun opportunity for us to share what theme(s) we're using. A few screenshots will do. :) I'll start. On my G5, I'm using iLeopard and iOX. iLeopard tones down...

    Alternative USB 1.1 keyboards for G4, or repairing?

    The point, briefly: I got a 17" 1GHz iMac G4. I got that computer for writing, so having a usable keyboard is a necessity. I'm weighing my options – buying a used keyboard for a replacement isn't just gross as you'll have to do the cleaning work, but also, it's a hit and miss if some keys...

    iLeopard Theme

    Was reading through some stuff today, and I stumbled across a theme called iLeopard. I installed it, and thought it was really cool! Since I've never seen it mentioned on here, I figured I'd share it. This theme basically makes the whole system appearance just like iTunes 7 or 8, with the...

    Boot G5 From USB?

    Was trying to boot my G5 from a USB flash drive earlier today. Plugged in the flash drive, booted into Open Firmware, and typed this: boot ud:,\\:tbxi Unfortunately I got a prohibited sign. This method works perfectly for my Mac mini G4, iBook G4, and iMac G4. However I could never get it...

    powermac g5 that runs too hot, LCS bad?

    Hi friends :) I am so sorry if this was asked before, because I know the computer is old, but I still like it. I bought a powermac g5 and the seller claimed it works fine. It does turn on and boots into MacOS except that one CPU reaches 83C. The other CPU reaches 40C. I wish I could show you...

    What Do You Use for Calendar/Contacts?

    To all of you who use a PowerPC Mac as your daily driver: What apps do you use for your calendar and contacts and why? I use iCal and Address Book because they can sync to my iPods and Address Book works with Mail. I like the UI and features as well. I thought it would be interesting to see...

    AmazingHenry's PowerPC Projects Thread

    All my PowerPC projects! :) Tiger Sierra Theme Before LeopardRebirth was out, I was making a Sierra theme for personal use. Once LeopardRebirth came out, some people requested a Sierra Theme for Tiger. It wasn't hard to adapt my theme to Tiger, so I did that and released it. Get it on the...

    Transparent Menu Bar on Tiger

    One more step to completing that Tiger Sierra Theme would be a transparent menu bar. Couldn't find anything with a DuckDuckGo search, but I know it's possible because @swamprock had showed screenshots with it. Anyone know of a way to get a transparent menu bar on Tiger? Thanks in advance. :)

    Any Way to Use an iContainer on Tiger?

    My Tiger Sierra Theme has NO ICONS in the current beta! Can you believe it? :O In the end, I plan to implement a .pkg that will upgrade the icons. For now, however, I'd like a temporary solution. I have an iContainer (CandyBar file) with a bunch of Sierra icons. The only thing I can get changed...

    Any Linux with VirtualPC7/Leopard ?

    This idea drives me nuts! - To run a slick Linux-Distro within VirtualPC7 which is also able to run a Dropbox-Client or even Netflix. I did not succeed with AntiX and Debian7 'cause the damn Cursor didn't work within the VM. Read about someone getting Mandrake10 to run within VirtualPC7 but...

    Looking for TenFourKit

    The only Macs I use Tiger on are very low-end; a 700MHz iMac G4 and an iBook G3 "Snow" (and I'll get it on my Clamshell soon). Since I don't do a lot of web browsing on these, I'm not going to install TenFourFox and I'd like to use TenFourKit instead. Yes, it's outdated, but my Internet usage is...

    Leopard .dmg Restore

    Updated Info I've decided to go with @QSDP-User's suggestion, and I will be changing things up a little bit. The OS will have the welcome screen bypassed and updates installed.

    TaskPaper - Outline/Todo-Sync between PPC/intel-Macs and iOS

    I've searching for a long time for a simple non-distracting Outliner for use on my PowerBook, MacBook and iPhone. During the last days I rediscovered "Taskpaper" and it's qualities of being a text only solution, with files, that will even survive a sudden death of it's applications (which will...
