For 'Desktop Picture' or 'Decor' or 'Desktop Pictures'
This folder contains a 3D raytracing I did of a grid model. It gives your desktop a cool 3D look. In order to use this image as your desktop, you will need to use either Decor, Desktop Picture or the Desktop Pictures control panel included with Mac OS8.
A note about Resolution:
A number of people have asked for a higher resolution version of my desktop grid picture or an uncompressed version of my desktop grid picture. Well, you got it! Included with the version is a jpeg-ed desktop grid picture at 832x624. Sorry it took so long but I had trashed the original 3d model after making that first image so I had to rebuild everything from scratch. I realize that 832x624 is still not very big but it should please more people. I could include a 1600x1200 version but then 'Daves Kaleidoscope Extras' would be *huge* and would take forever to download over a telephone modem just for the sake of one high-res picture. So, here's the plan... I have included a slightly higher resolution version of the image with this distribution but if you still need a bigger version, just email me and I will glady send you whatever resolution you want up to 1600x1200 in uncompressed PICT format! Also, if you are running in 640x480 resolution, you will get better results if you resize the 832x624 image to 640x480 in an image editing program such as Photoshop, PhotoDeluxe or Colorit!

For 'Desktop Patterns'
This folder contains two desktop patterns for use with my color schemes. There is one ppat (pattern) that goes well with Kronos and another that goes well with Mondrian. To use one of these patterns, just open your "Desktop patterns" control panel or "Desktop Pictures" under Mac OS8 and drag and drop the file into the control panel window. Next, click the "Set Desktop Pattern" button.
For SmartScroll Users
This folder contains patchers for two of my schemes. These patchers replace the scroll thumbs of the Mondrian and Lake Road schemes with scroll thumbs that are not quite as cool as the originals but work very well with SmartScroll, a shareware control panel that gives the Mac proportional scroll thumbs. Of course, you can use these schemes with SmartScroll *without* using the patches, but you will have **very** ugly scroll thumbs!
