- There are two ways to fix this.
- 1) Replace the system. If you do this be sure to drag the old
- System file to the trash then startup with the System Install
- disk. If you don't trash the old system first, the installer
- saves the desktop pattern from the old system file and puts it
- in the new one.You will have accomplished nothing.
- 2) Use ResEdit.
- <Children under 18: Ask your parent's permission before using
- ResEdit>
- Open the System file with ResEdit.
- Double click 'ppat' and select and cut resource #16. This is
- your current desktop pattern.
- Double click 'ppt#'. This is where the color patterns live.
- Double click resource #0, the only one.
- On the right side of the picker, select any one of the color
- patterns by single clicking it.
- Copy and paste this pattern into 'ppat'.
- Do a <Command> <I> or select "Get Resource Info" from the
- Resource menu.
- Change the ID# to 16.
- Save and quit ResEdit.
- You should now be able to select any of the color patterns in
- the General Cdev.
