So far the 'eyepoppers' patterns are the best I've ever seen. Perfect for
Birdie.

Definitely one I'd love to read. To tart up my wb I use the Dopus Magellan
button bank for my net apps with some 16 bit pictures pinched from the pc
world; Birdie with the aforementioned eyepoppers; the os3.9 button-bank for
other useful stuff with Glow-Icons (GlowIcons have been dominant on my wb
for years); and wicked backgrounds from some excellent websites, selected
randomly on boot-up by Dopus Magellan. I'll try and find out the url's to
those sites and post them here soon if anyone's interested.
