One day I was looking at the mess of icons on my desktop and getting tired at just the thought of trying to straighten them out again, and having to put them in some sort of order (again).

I usually have a picture I've made serve as a desktop background, and it occured to me that all these little pictures (icons) might look better if they related somehow to the background. And even better yet, I thought it would be pretty durn neat if they looked like they were part of my picture. The image, MayorDonut800.gif, seen below, then came together very quickly.

Of course, to really get the complete picture, you have to imagine a bunch of Shortcut icons scattered about... sort of like this.

The image above is 800 x 600 pixels. Step right over here for the 640 x 480 version.

You are welcome to download Mayor Donut and use it on your desktop. Then you can hang your Shortcuts on the portable rendonhazir that guy is carrying, or on the post, or wherever! I think the Recycle wastebasket looks cool sitting on the edge of the "5," but, hey, on your computer you're the artist.

If you are a PCperson running W95, you can right click on the image and select Set As Wallpaper. Go to your Desktop and the deed should be done. Using this method, Mayor Donut 800 will be saved in C:\Windows as Netscape Wallpaper.bmp. In this form it is a 938 KB 24-bit Bitmap. To keep the file size low, I created Mayor Donut in Microsoft Paint, using the 16 colors supported for saving as a 16 Color Bitmap, which yields a 235 KB file. You can re-convert it to that form and size but it is slightly more complicated.

In Microsoft Paint, go to File > Open > C:Windows > Netscape Wallpaper.bmp (In the Windows directory, you will find the Bitmaps after you scroll past a slew of folders.). Open the file. Then select File > Save As. From the Save as type drop-down menu select 16 Color Bitmap. You will be warned that the file already exists and asked: Replacing existing file? Select Yes. You could, of course, also save it into another directory of your choice and, at a later date, open it in Paint and then Set As Wallpaper/Centered (under File menu).
