cyberthug Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Hi ppl.I've been having problems understanding how to change the palette which is custom to a screen that i've made. The problem is that from the bitmap i create, i can save a palette, but how do i get hex values from there to be able to edit the ntoskrnl.exe?Could someone pls make me an SP2 ntoskrnl.exe using a bitmap i give?Or would someone be kind enough to walk me thru it..Cheers.
Nologic Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Save your self some hassle and just use BootSkin its a freeware app put out by Stardock...the guys that make WindowBlinds.Here is a AutoIt script in which to install it and set the default boot screen.
twizt3d Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 bro there is another way but its a little tricky and involves safe mode. Use Reshack on c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and replace bitmap1 with your new one and save the file as ntoskrnl2.exe. next boot into safe mode with command prompt, hit f8 for the retards, and do "cd.." <enter> until your at a c:. then do "cd windows" <enter> then "cd system32" <enter> you should now b at a prompt like so. C:\Windows\System32> at that screen type in "copy ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.bak" it should say 1 file copied. then do "copy ntoskrnl2.exe ntoskrnl.exe" overwrite the file then do "del ntoskrnl2.exe" now type in exit and hit enter. ctrl alt del and shut down. restart and u should have a new boot screen. twizt
Vel Straty Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 BootLogo does the trick too.For the BMP, use IrfanView to decrease the image stuffs and resize it to fit the boot screen.I've never used anything else but it was the easiest two way stop to making it!
