Bluetooth Colour Menu 1.0

by Chris Lawson

*************************

Bluetooth Colour Menu, along with its sister icon replacements Battery Colour
Menu and AirPort Colour Menu, was inspired by Stanton McCandlish's excellent
PPPContrastMenu, which is entirely unaffiliated with this icon set. If you wish

Bluetooth Colour Menu is a set of replacement icons for the Bluetooth menu extra
for Mac OS X 10.3 which adds some much-needed colour to the menu icons. The
"connected" dots are changed from black to blue, the error X is highlighted in
red, and the "idle" icon is in blue, rather than black, as seems appropriate to
Bluetooth.

To install Bluetooth Colour Menu, first ensure that Bluetooth status is not
being displayed in the menu bar. To turn this off, go to the Bluetooth
preference pane (make sure your Bluetooth dongle is connected if you don't have
internal Bluetooth) and uncheck "Show Bluetooth status in menu bar."

Once the status display is turned off, navigate to

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Bluetooth.menu

and control-click to bring up the contextual menu. (If you wish to back up the
original appearance of your menu extra, make a copy of the Bluetooth.menu file
at this point.)

Select "Show Package Contents."

Open the "Contents" folder, then the "Resources" folder.

Drag the TIFF files from the Bluetooth Colour Menu folder into Resources.

Authenticate as needed and choose to replace duplicate items.

Turn on Bluetooth status display again, and enjoy your new icons.

These TIFF files are known to be properly named for the Bluetooth menu extra
under Mac OS X 10.3.5; there is no guarantee that they will work on earlier (or
later!) Mac OS versions.

No warranty is expressed or implied with these icons. If you break something,
it's your own fault. Icons are derived from Mac OS X icons which are presumably

If you find these to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and want to show
your appreciation by sending me a couple bucks, a postcard, a six-pack of
microbrew, or whatever else you think I might find interesting, e-mail me at
