Can't set a custom wallpaper
Posted by: belaboy on 2018-06-13 12:58:24
Been wanting to add a custom wallpaper for my SE/30 running System 7.5.5, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I tried using Backdrop, BackSplash, and Decor, but the images refuse to apply! Even did a fresh install and still no dice. Anyone have any idea what might be blocking it?

Its probably the image format itself. Back then software was picky on image formats. 

if its a PNG or a weird type of alpha enabled JPEG, forget it. Needs to be a GIF with compatibility and dithering or something along those lines.
