Hi, I was trying to install some GIF picture as the startup screen by using DeskPict. I first converted it in to Res ID=0 pict file and renamed it as DeskPicture. The picture loads up on the screen, but the palette returned to default 16 colors and ruined the picture. Is there any way to get around this? In other words, how can I startup with the palette come with the picture? Thank you, Peter Chen CCIS FSDC Tech Writer

Peter, Unfortunately there really isn't an easier way, other than using Dawn (Shareware INIT/cdev from AOC Software) and PixelPaint. Dawn allows the use of custom palette information for a PixelPaint created StartupPicture and then restores the System palette before loading the Finder. To convert from GIF to PixelPaint, use Steve Blackstock's Giffer 1.0x and PICTPal 1.0. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian
