In <10974@orstcs.CS.ORST.EDU>, Scott wrote about his troubles trying to
set up a color StartupScreen for his Mac II.
 
Well Scott, I have a color StartupScreen, and the way I did it was to 
save it in StartupScreen format in Pixel Paint 2.0.  (I'm sorry if you 
expected some kind of answer, but I have a problem too...)
 
About Backdrop 2.16:  I'm trying to get Backdrop to display a COLOR 
backdrop, but all it seems to do is show it in black and white, then 
cover it over with the desktop!  (Which, by the way, is blue with white 
dots.)  Does anyone know of a way to get backdrop to show my color 
screens?  I've tried using the same file I use for my startup screen, and 
created and PICT resource and everything like that, but it doesn't seem 
to work.  I read the documentation with Backdrop, but it doesn't help me 
much....  Any help would be appreciated.
 
Please e-mail mail, 'cause I can't keep up with all the traffic here.
