System 7.5 (codenamed "Capone", a reference to Al Capone and "Chicago", which was the code name for Microsoft's Windows 95), which included bug fixes from previous updates and added several new features including:
- an updated startup screen featuring a progress bar
- a new interactive help system called Apple Guide
- a clock in the menu bar (based on the free "SuperClock" control panel by Steve Christensen)
- an Apple menu item called Stickies (formerly a third-party application called "PasteIt Notes") which provided virtual Post-It Notes
- WindowShade (another former shareware control panel which provided the ability to condense a window down to its title bar)
- the Control Strip (a fast way to change the system volume, control the playback of audio CDs, manage file sharing and printers and change the monitor resolution and color depth)
- the Extensions Manager (enabling the user to turn extensions and control panels on and off; also based on a formerly third-party control panel)
- PowerTalk, the predecessor to the Keychain system and also a system-level email handling service
- the Launcher, a special Finder window containing shortcut buttons for frequently-used programs (in a manner somewhat akin to the Mac OS X Dock)
- a hierarchal Apple menu (folders within the Apple Menu Items folder would expand into submenus showing their contents. Again, based on a third party control panel; HAM by Microseeds publishing)
- system-wide drag & drop for text and other data (selections could be simply dragged with the mouse and dropped to their new destination, bypassing the clipboard)
- a scriptable Finder
- QuickDraw GX, a 2-D graphics rendering and geometry engine
- For the PowerPC only, an advanced, 3d Graphing Calculator, secretly developed at Apple by a former third party contractor
- support for OpenDoc
