On the SE, you can use Tim Maroney's BackDrop program to use MacPaint
files as backgrounds.

For the MacII, it's useful to have Giffer or PixelPaint, which allow
you to create files with a PICT resource with ID=0 (also called
Grayview files).  The program DeskPICT! will make the file called
StartupScreen, which is displayed at startup instead of the Welcome
banner, in the system folder the desktop screen.

For both, neat programs to use are Randomizer and SSSwitcher.  I use
Randomizer to change between 5 desktop pictures I like to use.  It also
works with startup sounds and beeps, and you can set up related sets of
startup screens, backdrops, startup sounds, and beeps.
