[comp.sys.atari.st] BACKGROUND PICTURES for the DESKTOP

Z4648252@SFAUSTIN.BITNET (Z4648252) (04/24/89)

"Easel/ST is a small, slightly-hard-to-find program that will do just that.
You give it DEGAS pictures for whatever resolution you'd like to boot up in,
and Easel will load it as your Desktop image."

    Might also mention that NeoDesk gives the option for desktop
pictures.  They can be for either RGB or MONOCHROME configuration.

Yes, but NeoDesk is a replacement for the real GEM Desktop.  As such, it
runs as an application under GEM, and it simply uses the wind_set call
to set its own desktop while it is active.  EASEL/ST actually alters the
appearance of the native ROM-resident GEM Desktop.
