Colonel O'Neill Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Hi everybody! I've been working on this bootscreen for a few weeks now to replace the standard Windows 2000 boot screen.The 2000 animated bar is much more suitable for the glass bar.I took the glass bar from Vishal's Windows 7 Bootscreen for Vista, which can be found here: Link.Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to extract the actual image from the given Vista files, so I used the screen shot. Would be awesome to move the progressbar in 2000's NTOSKRNL like in XP's. Anyone know some hex codes to change?EDIT: Screenshot-------------------------------------------------Update: I fixed some dithering artifacts...Also added a visible progressbar.I might consider adding a Windows flag logo on it...-------------------------------------------------Windows_7_Boot_Screen_for_Windows_2000.zipVersion_2.zip Edited March 4, 2009 by Colonel O'Neill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjhe Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You can start by with a little fiddling around with the palettes on a standard graphics editor with a resource hacker for ntoskrnl.exe. Here is a guide to do it with Paint Shop Pro 7 (you can download an evaluation version of it if you look around)http://www.thetechguide.com/howto/xpbootlogo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel O'Neill Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Heh, it seems theres no better way to dither that gradient bar. Photoshop's diffusion works better sometimes, and pattern is better the other times.The 16 colour barrier is a real challenge, which is partially remedied in Windows Vista, and completely rebuilt for 7.So, maybe I'll put in a Windows flag in shiny chrome (meaning grayscale so I don't have to reduce the colors for the glowy bar).Yes I do know how to reshack NTOSKRNL, but I wanted to move the scrolled region up to the centre, and change the speed of the scrolling. Hoping to stumble upon the right hexcodes I need to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
