StartupFrills is a utility which livens up the process of switching on your Mac.

This is a simple utility to provide a means of having a random events occur when you restart your Macintosh. These events can include changing the startup screen, playing a startup sound, showing a startup movie and/or reading a text file using the Speech Manager. Although it will work from the desktop, it was designed for use inside the Startup Items folder so that the picture and sound will change each time you boot.

Here are some key features of "StartupFrills":
  • Display different startup screens
  • Play startup sounds
  • Play Quicktime movies
  • Read out a text file.

    Requirements:
  • System 7.0 or later
  • At least 384k - more for large amounts of speech and big sounds.
  • Apple's Quicktime 2.5 or later extension is required for movies and pictures in formats other than Startupscreen.
  • Apple's Speech Manager extension is required for speech.
