Hi guys,
What format are you using for your wallpaper on your mig, JPG,GIF, or IFF ?
I'm having some probs with memory (chip) running out when I use pictures size of 1024x768 with 256 colors. From cold boot I have 962 kb of free chip ram without using any wallpaper at all.

Regards,
Lauri

Check out some of the threads about the Unofficial Boing Bag 3 that was put together by a few people.  It has programs and/or utilities which will allow you to move several parts of the OS into Fast RAM instead of Chip RAM and should help you out.  It has been several months since I played around with those extras, but I did get a significant amount of Chip RAM freed up after installing some of them.
