A shareware package (or maybe PD) called Giffer will do the job. Load in your
PICT or GIF file and save as a startup screen. BUT, if the color palette
of the picture is not the same as the standard 256 color palette found in
something like the color picker, then your color startup screen may not look
exactly like what you wanted.
