QuickDraw GX was a replacement for the QuickDraw (QD) 2D graphics
engine and Printing Manager inside the "classic" Mac OS. Although GX
was based on the same general geometry and dimensions of the original
QD engine, the underlying drawing platform became a resolution-
independent object oriented retained mode system, making it much
easier for programmers to perform common tasks. Additionally, GX added
various curve-drawing commands that had been lacking from QD, as well
as introducing TrueType as its basic font system.

running either of two "DarkSide of the Mac" v5 'faders' named
