FadeBack

FadeBack is a RISC OS program to generate pinboard backdrops with smooth fades similar to programs built into other OSs (Windows, Linux running KDE etc.). RISC OS Select has a simple vertical fade which you can modify the colours to, but I wanted something a bit more - dithering so that the backdrop looks better in low colour desktops, more fade styles and so on.

This is not just another backdrop selector - you create new backdrops on the fly from a number of predefined fade styles and a multitude of colouring options.

Gallery

I've now uploaded a gallery of example images so that you can see what kind of effects are possible using the program.

Documentation

The full documentation is available online in HTML format. This is exactly the same as the version distributed with the program itself, although the program also has a text-based copy for the browser-challenged.

Downloads

You can download everything at once, or a copy of the program with only minimal resource files and then add the resources at a later date. As of November 28th 2002 the archives now have a 32bit compatible version of spr_fsi, and should work under RISC OS 5 on the Castle Iyonix.
