[comp.sys.mac.misc] desktop arts

I have seen some macs at several places having some pictures instead of the usual desktop patterns.  How can I do that with my mac?  Where can I get the pictures and the program if I need one?

There are two commercial products that do what you want. ColorDesk (comes
part of the ScreenGems collection) and DeskPicture (comes part of the
Now Utilities collection). DeskPicture works on both Classic and Color
QuickDraw Macs while ColorDesk only works on Color Macs. I would recommend
the Now Utilities package but you do have to realize that I wrote DeskPicture.
