"Is there a version of Backdrop, the init which takes a pict and makes it the "background screen, which works on the SE/30? If so, where can I get it? " "Thanks... "Thomas Summerall Well, there's DeskPicture, one of the Now Utilities. But you'll have to take all the utilities as well. It has an option to size it to your screen, but it looks awful on a 19" monitor. It gets all distorted. Now if I actually had a picture that big... Actually this is one of the utilities that intrigued me when I bought it. I was hoping they would include a picture or two--particularly the rock background they used in some early ads. I thought that would be real cool to have a rock pile as your desktop background. Anybody got a big rock pile picture? Shirley Kehr

This stack contains a bunch of cool 1-bit images that just happen to work perfectly as DeskPictures on SE size screens (since they're in HyperCard, they exactly fill an SE size screen). If you don't have access to this stack, drop me a line and I'll send you the rock pile pictures... Claris Corp. | Michael R.
