This is my Amiga, part 4

Backdrops!

San Francisco at Night, Nikon D300 by Bill Borsari
This part of my Amiga is about the backdrops.  The backdrop is one of those area's that offers the biggest and most visible statement that this your machine.  Nothing else on your system is more an expression if you.  When ever I get a new PC or Mac I always set the backdrop to one of me favorite photos, San Francisco at night:





On my Amiga's I want to express more of my Amiganess so I've used the default backgrounds, then I setup STRICQ's random backdrop changer.  Then Guillaume Boesel (zzd10h) released his flippaper app.  This MUI based app is a visual tool for managing lists of photos and settings around when the WBBackdrop changes.  You can the tool here: Flipaper (flippaper.lha)

For the images I found some great ones on OS4 depot searching for  Backdrops and find ones like this:







 On the site Amiga-look.org like this one:









I'm sure there are more places out there where Amiga artists have posted their creations.  Share them in the comments please!



Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borsari

  1. My poor Amiga 3000 flashes green. Apparently the battery leaked. :(
