   written my own.  Everything is hunky-dory except my InvertFamilyIcon
   routine follows TN #55 and looks lame in color (the colors are
   inverted).  I'd like to use the same algorithm that Finder 7.0 uses
   (dim the icon's palette down some

     So, has anyone already solved this problem or know how to?  Any Finder 7.0
   programmers out there?

No Finder 7 programmer, but looking in IM gives some answers:

RGBColor c = { 20000 , 20000 , 20000 } ;
RGBColor q = { 0 , 0 , 0 } ;

PenMode ( subPin ) ;
RGBForeColor ( & c ) ;
OpColor ( & q ) ;
PenPat ( black ) ;
PaintRect ( & iconRect ) ;

If you don't like the look of subPin, try blend...

Happy hacking,
