How to Paste in Starfish Patterns
To use the desktop patterns on this web site, you will need 2 things: The program Starfish and the desktop pattern. Only Starfish 1.2 will work with this.
Preparation:
1. Open the System Folder.
2. Delete the file "starfish.pict"
3. Rename the pattern or a copy of it to "starfish.pict"
4. Open Starfish and select "Preferences..." from the File menu.
5. Click "New Pattern"
Placing the Pattern
As soon as the bar reaches the end, a new item should appear called "starfish.pict." as soon as this appears, quickly drag the pattern that you renamed to the system folder. When asked whether to delete an older item that already exists, click OK. You just tricked Starfish into thinking that was the pattern that it just generated! It will take the pattern and repeat it across the screen.
