[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Colordesk! & TheNews 2.02

carlc@clemson.clemson.edu (Bobby Clark) (06/07/91)

I am looking for colordesk!, the utility that allows you to put a background
picture on Mac monitor (13", 15", 19", whatever) with 7.0. I used deskpict!
with system 6, but I noticed (and it has been mentioned on the net) there are
slight problems with it and seven-oh. (Why Apple didn't built this function in
the system, I'll never know...but then who's complaining :-). I am also looking
for new version of TheNews (version 2.02 ) reader.

I have checked sumex and others already (maybe I missed them), but no luck
(just the old copies). Just give me the site name and some path destinations,
and I can take it from there.

You can respond e-mail. Thanks.

Right now, there's a program called DeskPict at the Sumex-Aim archives.  It's
rather old, but it seems to work for me.  I'm using a IIsi, a standard 13" mon-
itor with an Apple video card, and MaxAppleZoom.  I'll probably toss the color-
backdrop in a day or so.  First of all, it's hard to come by 704x512 color pic-
tures, and it's just not worth 200kb of memory!  If you want a more interesting
backdrop, you can just create a 64x64 ppat, id #16, in the system file.  It's
better than the 8x8 standard, and it doesn't take any extra memory!
