GX Desk Pattern is a totally frivolous use of AppleΓÇÖs amazing QuickDraw GX technology: it lets you use a QuickDraw GX graphic as your desktop pattern. WhatΓÇÖs so wonderful about this? Well, QuickDraw GX has lots of neat capabilities that the MacΓÇÖs old Color QuickDraw graphics canΓÇÖt touch, such as: (1) YouΓÇÖre no longer restricted to rectangular tilings with each side being an exact power of 2. (2) You can superimpose multiple patterns to produce nonrepeating combinations. (3) You can create interesting colour effects where shapes overlap. (4) You can apply rotations, scalings, and funky distortion effects.
