Do any programs exist for creating desktop backdrops
for large screens linked to mac IIs? I tried
program backdrop from sumex but this seemed to have
no effect.
THanks in advance for any pointers,

as it has been said many times, backdrop does not work on a mac2. it works fine
for me on my SE tho. from memory, i think a friend of mine had a cdev called
colordesk (not too sure on this) that would work as backdrop did (except from
the control panel instead of an init). anyone with a mac][ wanna speak up and
name the program?

Give deskpict a try it is availible from sumex in /init/deskpict.hqx. it uses a pict res id 0 called 'DeskPicture' but it does take memory. I finally had to stop running it since my machine only has 2 meg. but it works pretty well. I did not run into any problems, except with programs that used the system clut and did not change it back. rob
