- WBPattern uses Datatypes to load in graphics, so any picture type which you
- have a Datatype for should work fine. Note that using GIFs and JPEGs will
- probably take longer to be processed than simple IFFs, so you could end up
- increasing your boot time considerably if you use them. I use an uncompressed
- ILBM to speed things up.
-
- The above applies to OS3.0+. If you have an earlier version than that, you
- won't have datatypes and so will have to convert the pictures manually.
-
- As for Magic Selector, I wouldn't know, since I don't use it. What is it
- anyway?
