This string is used by the Finder if a user tries to open the board file and does not have MacFIBS installed. This string should be the name of the application: "MacFIBS". |

A string list, with two strings containing the color names of your checkers. The first string should represent the color of the 'PICT' (3100) checker, the second string should represent the color of the 'PICT' (3101) checker. You should not capitalize these. These strings are used for the radio buttons in the Board section of the Preferences dialog. If you omit this resource, the Preference dialog will default to "red" and "white". |
