Well, it turns out to be a little wonky.



However this is how I managed it.

Copied my system file,

opened the copy in resedit 2.1.3.

open the pict resource. then open -16505 and copy to clip board.



I pasted it into photoshop 4. edited it to the welcome to macintosh screen and cropped it. copied the final result and pasted over top of -16505 in resedit. and saved.

dragged my system file to the desktop and replaced it with the edited copy.

and rebooted to see the first pic. (It would actually look perfect if the background was gray)

ALSO: Was OS9 intended to live on further than it did? like on the Powerbook G4 or snow iBook?
