This may be an odd question, but does anyone know what font was used for the MS-DOS packaging/branding in the early 90s?

Added some UI feedback for trackpad mode. When you drag along the trackpad side of the screen, you get a larger circular cursor underneath your finger. When you press on the button side, a visible shadow appears.
This feature is a work in progress and may be a bit buggy.

I've updated the startup and shutdown animations to something a bit more accurate. The Lisa's CRT does a nice fade-in effect on boot up, and a gentle fade-out effect on shutdown.
If you miss the original old-school CRT animations, they can be toggled in the settings.

You can now toggle the menu clock's visibility. I've also consolidated all menu settings to a single preference pane. The new build is being pushed out now.

New build is out with menubar eyes, and a barebones quick-and-dirty "menubar setup" preference pane.

Also, the eyes close when the system goes into sleep mode, and they open when it wakes up...

Pushed a new build. The startup animation/screen should now respect your display scaling settings.

The current build's screenshots menu icon is now representative of a Polaroid photo. The camera icon was a bit too hard to read.

The status area menus can now be customized a bit. The FPS counter will be off by default. Screenshot options have been moved into a separate menu.
Hopefully my Polaroid camera icon reads well enough... I suspect I'll have to revise it once or twice... :/

In the next build, you will be able to shift and rotate desktop patterns before applying them.

In the next build, you will be able to shift and rotate desktop patterns before applying them.
Upcoming changes in the next build:
To beef up the desktop's view menu (as it lacks list sorting options) I added a menu item giving quick access to the desktop pattern settings.
A couple of bugs have been fixed, one in the menus and one regarding time formats.

The shutdown panel now uses the user-set color palette, and buttons on it and the 404 page invert correctly.
Also, a short message was added to the shutdown panel.
Lastly, both pages now use the KreativeKorp Lisa "StartupFrom" font. It's the only actual font file in this entire project.

Pushed a new build with an adjustable pixel aspect ratio. Options include 2:3, 1:1 (square pixels), and 3:4 (closer to what you'd get using the very rare Lisa CRT alignment graticule). I also threw in 2:1 just for kicks.

Working on a modifiable pixel aspect ratio. This was mostly parameterized already; there are still a couple showstopper bugs.
