- Try Desktop Textures at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. You can create large desktop
- patterns from any picture that you can cut&paste. The version up there is 2.0,
- and as far as I know, it'll work with system 6 or 7 I've had no problem with my
- IIci (7.0.1 tuned, 32-bits on).
-
- There's also a selection of miscelleneous patterns (brings the total to about
- 80, I think) that includes Escher-style horses at least (in the /info-mac/misc
- directory, desktop-patterns or somesuch.)
-
- The application itself is archived as /info-mac/util/desktop-textures-20.hqx
-
- Even has balloon help!
