I love(d) resource forks. Before there were signed applications, it made it easy to modify applications without the source code. I even had a plug-in that disassembled the binary executable blobs, and had fun modifying one of the original text editor desk accessories to allow windows larger than 512 x 342. (Those were the days...)
Agreed. Definitely used to enjoy having fun with ResEdit back in the day - simpler times :-)
I run System 7 on an iPad and used ResEdit to change the resource forks to make toolbar buttons in an app larger and more tapable. https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/03/28/changing-the-size...
