[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Larger StartupScreens ??

How do you get StartupScreens that are bigger
than the 9" default?  I have tried all
the tools that generate StartupScreens such
as MacPaintII, SuperPaint and PixelPaint
with no luck.

Okay, try this...

o	Create a startup screen doc with SuperPaint 2.0
o	Then on a new document create whatever size doc you want
o	Cut and paste to the scrapbook
o	Launch ResEdit
o	Open and Verify a Res. Fork on the startup doc you created with SP 2.0
o	Copy and Paste the PICT to a resource PICT in the newly created Res. Fork
o	Get info on the PICT resource and give it a ID of 0 (zero).
o	Close the document under ResEdit
o	Try Restarting you computer.

This is how I did it and it worked just fine.  I have a 2 page display
and about 85% of the screen has a wonderful drawing by a friend on it
when I start the computer up in the morning.  Really nice and easy...

Sincerely,

Todd
