Pictures
(PICTs) are among the most commonly hacked resources, if
only because they're so darned abundant. Why did the hacker
tweak the PICT? Because it was there. Duh.
NOTE
Pictures always work
best if the image you paste in is the same
size as the original. I do this by using
the original picture as a "template" in a
paint program, and only painting over that
area (to guarantee it is the same size
when I paste it back in).
If you want to see
how big an image is to make sure, you can
double click on it and Resorcerer will
give you the size.

small PICTs). You'll find PICTs lurking everywhere: the
startup screen, logos, palette buttons, and in most
respectable About boxes.
Designing your replacement PICT is
probably the hardest part about hacking picture items -- if
you can copy and paste, you've basically got the process
down. Try these picture hacks:
So have fun with hacking pictures, they are easy and give
your system a very personal feel.
