1. create a image the size of the backdrop you want to make in psp or photoshop.
2. fill it with a black-to-white gradient.
3. convert it to monochrome with dithering.
4. replace the black and white colors with colors of your choice.

I figured, what the heck! And wrote an article on it. It has some slightly more helpful descriptions, and screens.

It was probably the availability of colour depths above 8-bit after KNP's release that made it unnecessary... though I did miss it.

Also, the pattern effect only works in 8-bit color mode IIRC.

I thought K&P didn't do higher than 8-bit anyway?

Yes, but it only works if the system itself is running in 8-bit color mode.

I recall K&P did both 8-bit and 16-bit color modes. At first, I used K&P in 16 color mode! Then all gradients were patterned

KNP works in 8, 16 and 24 bits modes.
16 bits is a little buggy in edittime.
Also, The pattern function didn't use only 2 colors:

It's KNP Hebrew running on Windows 98 via virtual machine.
KNP is set to 8 bits display and windows is set to 16 bits display. (Since I didn't install silly drivers yet 24 bits is only available for 640*480 resolution.)

I hated the KNP gradients, that one was one of the better ones. Can't find a use for it tho.
