There are several freely distributable icn# colorizing inits around.
Most users use these to get the finder to display their desktops
with color icons (Color Finder, Icon Colorizer, and Sundesk).

From what I understand, these inits work the same way:
Trap the system call for drawing the icn#.
Make a check of it's own library of icn#'s and if a color icon
resource is present, has the computer draw it instead.

System 7 will soon make these inits useless for most people, but
I was wondering if anyone had written an init to colorize the other
Black and White frontier: Hypercard.
It seems the priniciple would be the same, except to trap the call
to draw ICON s (not ICN# s).

Is this possible? Has someone written one? Would it be possible to
modify the code of an existing icn# colorizing init?
