This ResEdit file contains six color ppats that may be used either for your desktop pattern, your menu bar pattern, or both! Specifically, these ppats have been optimized to take advantage of your menu bar’s vertical height and then flow somewhat seamlessly into the regular desktop area. (For those who want to know, the menu bar’s vertical heighth is 19 pixels.)
OK, OK, two of them are not too difficult to figure out: one is all black, which works well when you have changed your menu bar text color to something like bright yellow. The other one is the most attractive (I think) pattern from System 6 that was modified in System 7 to have a bland color scheme.
...but the other patterns are of my own creation (as terrible as they may be). Since these are my first ppats, I would expect to get better in the future...
I would strongly recommend that you import and install these ppats through Menu Bar Pattern (patterns in the menu bar) and Desktop Textures (patterns on the rest of your desktop).
These patterns are free to distribute wherever you may wish, as long as you keep this file with them.
