What is Starfish?

Starfish is a program for creating creating colorful, random, abstract patterns for use as desktop wallpaper, for use on websites (like this one), just for fun, or for any other purpose you might think of. Starfish may be set to create new desktop wallpaper automatically at intervals you select, or it may be run interactively to create new patterns as you wish.

What does Starfish look like?

You can see samples of Starfish's output in the gallery. Screenshots of Starfish in use are included in the user guide.

Where did Starfish come from?

Starfish was originally written for Macintosh computers, by Mars Saxman of Red Planet Software. Starfish is also currently available for Mac and Unix/Linux platforms; see the downloads page for details.

Golly, that all sounds peachy-keen. How much will it cost me?
