   Apple IIgs NASA Desktop Background Image   
   05 Jun 24 23:13:16   
   
   From: matthewmpower@gmail.com   
      
   I always wanted to make interesting desktop backgrounds for the IIgs. Over   
   time, as I had the time, I downloaded 30 or so images from different NASA   
   missions and projects. I resized, converted with Super Convert 4, and made all   
   into SHR images.   
      
   Once that was done, I used SC4 again to make them into useable desktop   
   backgrounds (keeping the correct colors). I think they came out pretty neat,   
   and even threw in a bunch from the James Webb Telescope. I've saved those   
   separately with .BKG extenstions.   
    The .BKG images work great with the DeskMaker NDA; I imagine there are other   
   ways of doing it as well.   
      
   My question is, where should I host these so others can check them out if   
   interested? My two ideas are GitHub and Asimov. Any other ideas?   
      
   I got the idea for doing this from What Is The Apple IIgs? and wanted to try   
   my hand at making another library.   
      
   Another question... should I use CiderPress and make a 32MB image with two   
   folders SHR and BKG and host that?   
      
   Thanks for reading and I'm glad this group is so much more active now. Sorry I   
   was so whiny in that rant "Is This Group Dead?"   
      
   Peace,
