Third-party Control Panels[edit]

Zillions of Control Panels having been released by third-party companies during the years of pre- OS X Macintosh, and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to make - be it just very simple - a list of all the control panels that could be dug up and say what their use was, who were the developpers, and which system(s) it ran on. This way, a developper who is looking for fresh new ideas could come look at the list and propose the original developpers to transport these CP into today's OSes, Vista, OS X v.5, etc. It would also allow users who are looking for a transport of their once-beloved CPs to find it easily. Then maybe a page named "Third-Party Control Panels (Macintosh)" would need to be created. So far I couldn't find anything better than the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mac_OS_APIs which is really miserable.

You might want to check out “Extension Overload,” a perennial Mac utility that (in spite of its name) listed practically everything that you might put in your System Folder, going back past the System 6 days. Another one, which I forget the name of (I think it was a cute 5-letter acronym) was implemented as a ProVUE database. Both were quite complete. 72.130.58.85 (talk) 11:23, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to System Preferences[edit]

I think we should merge it to its main article – System Preferences. There is no need to keep it as a stub. --Rezonansowy (talk | contribs) 19:22, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
