I have spent the last few days loading up and configuring VMs with OpenStep, and I am *soft inside* over Previous, and reliving life with Black (Virtual) Hardware.
BlackIcons, kb7sqi's packages, Y2K patch, bash.. It really feels like home.
No mucking around with floppies, hunting down SCSI devices (that work) or 70 pound CRT displays, not to mention the flexibility of booting a Nitro Turbo Color, and loading a different config to have a 25Mhz 030 Cube, with MO drive.
Kudos!

Title: Monaco font patch

I have been fiddling around with the SDL GUI resources to replace the Atari font from Hatari with something more familiar.
font10x16.h (https://github.com/itomato/Previous-tweaks/blob/master/font10x16.h) is just an X bitmap. Loading the BMP format file into GIMP makes it simple to replace each of the characters and change the icons to be a little more NeXT-like.
Drop this one into your src/gui-sdl directory and 'make', or load the standard BMP from the source into GIMP and export as XBM. Change the extension to .h and rebuild!

Another one - a patch to sdlgui.c to change the RGB values to match a Mono NeXT.
