Searching for a backdrop
I'm searching for a blue backdrop with many repeated small letters/characters written on it in a lighter blue. It should be for ECS Amiga and MagicWB compatible. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks.

could you use ASCII Art Generator with a striped screen with 2 colors?
or even simpler, grab a screen worth of gibberish random text, paste it in photoshop or analogue in a 320x256 empty image, with an amiga like font, a bitmap one of a 8px of character body, then save as IFF? i cannot do that atm, but it is easy, someone else could surely. |

I know which backdrop you mean, I remember they used it as a window backdrop in many screenshots in Amiga magazines. I don't know where to find it right now, maybe it's on some cover CDs?

Another good backdrop was a series of water drops which when used with Magic Copper gave a brilliant little effect, but it only really looked good with a light to dark blue gradient or even an orange one. |

Just to point out that it is probably a pattern, not a real backdrop.

Is this the wallpaper? If so, it came with the IconoGFX set on the Amiga CUCD vol. 2, or you can download it from Aminet here: http://aminet.net/package/pix/nicon/IGfx30 I love this background and icon set, I hope somebody will make an Amiga pack out of it ... or maybe I will
