  @{b}Introduction:@{ub}
  '@{fg shine}Before Dark@{fg text}' is originaly a package of desktop patterns for Macintosh
  computer, made by @{fg shine}Craig Marciniak@{fg text}.
  The set of those patterns is well known to the Mac's users.
  The 64x64 256 colors patterns were taken from the Macintosh and converted
  to Amiga IFF.
  Job was done within 2 hours using ShapeShifter & ADPro.
  To contact me:

  @{b}How to use it?@{ub}
  Not everyone uses the 256 colors Workbench, and even so, it is
  unlikely to use exactly the same palettes both on Workbench and selected
  pattern. There is the only way: rendering the pattern into Workbench
  colors!
  @{u}The simple way:@{uu} click on the selected icon to call MultiView.
  MultiView will render the pattern under the WorkBench colors. The only
  thing to do is just saving the picture and use then. The only bad thing
  is that the way of reducing colors used by MultiView is realy simple...
  @{u}The better way:@{uu} use ADPro, ImageFX or whatever like that to render
  the pattern for the Workbench with some kind of dithering to simulate
  lacking colors.
  After those operations run the WBPattern from Prefs and check new
  backdrops!
