24-bit boot screens

[LukeSkillz]

Hi all

This isn't a big deal, but I'm just curious. Sometimes I get kinda tired of only using 256 color boot-up screens. They just look ugly. Being able to use 24-bit boot-up screens would be nice, but I'm not sure if it even is possible at all. Any help?

Unfortunatly, since it uses extra palette colors to display the progress bar, I doubt you can use more than 256 colors.

I've never tried though, so you might wanna check.

However, the easiest is probably to install RP's boot logo and then mod it.

Yes, I am using a modified version of RP's boot logo, but I wasn't sure if it would mess anything up to make the boot logo 24-bit, as it would be kind of hard to set it back to 256 colors if Windows wouldn't even boot up.
