What is it?
===========

This is the first part of a collection of background pix for your WB.

All the images are (and also will be in future) ...

  - actually used by myself for my own WB (so they *MUST* be good! ;-))

  - using the colours of Roman Patzner's ROM-Icons palette, so you only
    need a 16-colour WB for these really nice pix! :-)

  - scaled, cropped and rendered with ADPro with Floyd-Steinberg
    dithering for best results

  - saved in IFF-ILBM format, so you don't need any alien datatype or
    have to wait ages until they are decoded and rendered on screen

  - 720x520 pixels in size and so perfectly fit for DblPAL screens

  - having a Fantasy theme - yes, I LOVE pix of Boris Vallejo and AD&D!
    (well, in this set there is a topless girl pic as well...ummm 8-O)


Requirements
============

You need a WB with a locked 16 colour ROM-Icons palette or one with more
colours and enough (at least 6) free pens for the images to look as they
should.

If you need colour locking you should install FullPalette from Aminet.
Just use one of these images to get the needed palette settings from!

A standard 8-colour MagicWB is just not enough!


Installation
============

Have a look at the images with your favourite picture viewer to see which
you like and which you don't (...you'll like'em all, by the way... ;-) ).

Then copy all these images to your image dir and set them as usual with
your WBPattern prefs.

Hints: -Use a random WB pattern tool (like Aminet:util/boot/RandomBG.lha)
        to have a different randomly selected background pic each boot.

       -Install FBlit (from Aminet) to keep image data in Fast mem and so
        save your precious Chip mem usually needed for this.


Released sets

Legal
=====

I would be very pleased if you would let me know if you use and like the

If you put the images on any cover disk or CD-ROM (other than Aminet or
its CDs), send me a copy of the disk or CD-ROM then, please!
