That comes with the Appearance control panel, I think. I'm not sure why this
is necessary for Pov-Ray other than that it makes it look nicer. An
improvement, yes; but I'm unconvinced that they couldn't simply have left the
previous interface for the Preferences window if the control panel was missing.
Anyway, I forget whether or not MacOS 7.6 has the Appearance cdev or not...
but it sounds like you don't have it... so my only suggestion is to see if
your computer (and wallet) will let you install MacOS 8. I know that's not
great to hear (or read) if you just want to use a free program but unless they
remove that requirement you may have to...
