["LA, where neon goes to die. . ."] I've picked up a few of the background images. Anyone whose seen 'em all should post a review of which ones are worth our trouble to get, and what we should pass over. With that it mind, I wasn't able to get the moon image to work, sunview just ignores it. (If I had a microgram of initiative, I suppose I could probe around in the sunview source, but after the holidays, I'm just to beat. . . %-). The moon image is almost a quarter meg in size, where vanna is only about 30K and works fine. Why would Moon be so much larger, and why doesn't it work, eh? "Vanna" is fills up about a quarter of the screen, but is pretty good. She looks like a converted MacVision shot. "Saturn" is a Voyager saturn pix, but is likewise smaller than the full screen, and doesn't look all that hot. "Marilyn" fills up the entire screen, but is rather dark and low contrast. "Space" is of Astronaut Bruce McCandless flying the MMU above the earth. It is full-screen, and quite impressive. mike -- *** mike smithwick ***
