I have several color Mandelbrots in 8 bit color that I would like to make into StartUpScreens. So far all I have been able to accomplish is to get a 1 bit B&W ( *YEECH* ) picture at start up time. Here's what I tried: Paste a freshly made Mandelbrot( created with MandelZot 1.4) onto the clipboard. Then I launch ResEdit, create a new file titled 'StartUpScreen', make a new 'PICT' resource, and paste the picture into it. So far so good, the PICT shows in color inside ResEdit. I then get info and change the ID to 0. I then save it and quit resEdit. When I put the file into the system folder and reboot all that shows up is a *VERY* unsatisfactory B&W rendition of an otherwise beautiful Mandelbrot. How can I fix this? Another problem is with GIF files.This is what I tried with them: I tried to save them as PICTs using Vision Lab 0.67 saving them as StartUpScreens but the same thing happens, *UGLY* B&W. Any tips about getting *COLOR* PICT StartUpScreens? Preferrably 8 bits. Thanks for your support! ----------------------------------------------------- Scott Flatman INTERNET: flatmas@ladder.cs.orst.edu UUCP: hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!ladder.cs.orst.edu!flatmas ---------------------------------
