Hi Folks,
We Have a color scanner that scans photos to absolutely huge pict
files that are fabulous looking. We would like to find a
program/cdev/etc. that can create startupscreens and one that will
maybe place that pict on your desktop. If the program could do both,
that too would be great.
Thanks-

Einstein | If you use !DeskPict, it will automatically scale to fit the screen where the menu bar resides. This is primarily an init for substituting the desktop pattern, but since it kicks in quite early, I think it could be used as a startup screen as well. Programs like Macpaint and SuperPaint can save a file as a startup screen. PixelPaint can do it in colour. DeskPict requires the file for the desktop to be of startup screen type, having a PICT resource ID=0. Anyway, I've also heard Now Utils as an even better one in that you can select at random etc, but I haven't got it yet. As you may see, there are definitely solutions, some work better than others, just don't do it in such a way that you get sick of the idea too quickly :) -- <<<< My employers ignore me, I'm on my own when I speak out in public :^( >>>> < Norton Chia | Mail me on norton@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU APPLELINK:AUST0240 > < Micro Support | "There are only 3 types of people in the world: > < Uni of Sydney | Those who can count, and those who can't" >
