RndWbPix 39.1 requires OS3+. DESCRIPTION RndWbPix is a small program that provides random backdrop pictures for your wbscreen, wbwindow and drawer windows. It runs from the startup-sequence each reboot and picks (a) random picture(s) from the specified directory/ies. INSTALLATION 1. Copy RndWbPix to your C: directory Users of OS3.0 should copy RndWbPix_v39 to their C: directory (Copy RndWbPix_v39 TO c:RndWbPix). 2. Next edit the file s:startup-sequence and add the follow- ing line somewhere BEFORE C:IPrefs C:RndWbPix where ROOTPATH is the directory that you have your back- drop pictures for your wbwindow in eg. SYS:Prefs/Backdrops DRAWERPATH is the same as ROOTPATH, except that this option specifies the directory where you have stored the pictures for the drawer windows. SCREENPATH is the directory where you have stored your back- drops for the wbscreen. Examples: C:RndWbPix SYS:Prefs/Backdrops RndWbPix changes each boot up the picture for your wbwin. C:RndWbPix SYS:Prefs/Backdrops SCREENPATH SYS:Prefs/Scrbdrops Same as above but the wbscreen backdrop is also changed. C:RndWbPix DRAWERPATH SYS:Prefs/Backdrops RndWbPix changes only the backdrops of the drawer windows each reboot. 3. Save the changes :-) TECHNICAL Each time you start RndWbPix it modifies the file ENV:sys/wbpattern.prefs. The ENVARC: file stays untouched.
