Niji comes with several predefined appearances, such as "True NeXT" (a
genuine NeXT-like interface), "Jump to Eight" (for System 7 users),
"Back To Seven" (for nostalgic MacOS 8 users), "Grand Prix", "Waves",
etc. Just try them out! Each interface is stored in a separate
Appearance file.
Advanced users can design and distribute their own customized
Appearance files.

DL #1 Niji v1.2.1

Registration Information

Press and hold G and R keys while starting up your Macintosh.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

Niji requires System 7.0 or later, and is fully compatible with Mac OS
8.

Known problems and incompatibilities

? Menus in Canvas 3/3.5 (5 is OK) and in MacWrite II do not currently
work when Niji is installed.
? The "solid drag" feature is not currently available in the Mac OS 8
Finder. Please install [DragAnyWindow][3] to fix this.
? Niji doesn't work well on black and white screens, since it was not
designed for them.
? If you use the Japanese Language Kit, you may experience some
instability in the choice of the System font, which may sometimes
revert to Chicago or Osaka.

If you find any others, please report them to us and we'll do our best
to fix them.
