July 15, 200521 yr I've been thinkng about a boot screen all this time, but the color oalette i so limited that it is not worth making. We will see.Now maybe we should help himI think some guidlines should be put downThe bootscreen should still have the windows xp stuff like it does nowbut dont add home or pro or anything because XPize is used on bothRemember the pallette (spelling?) and maybe if XPero feels like it he might add it in XPize as an extra featureMy idea that i havent made is that its exactly the same exept where it says WINDOWS XP it should have WINDOWS XPized (in the same fint color as if it was apart of itThis is just for fun and an idea for people if they want their own XPized bootscreen they have made already to shareBTW those about 'guidelines' dont matter it was just a thoughtand someone if they want make mine so i can see what it looks like I'm lazy at the moment.Theres a pallette file somewhere for Photoshop to read the Bitmap out of the ntoskrnl.exe fileAlso once again this is just for fun i dont think XPero wants a bootscreen in XPize because it is a task to get it right but maybe he might consider using one made by his fans here at MSFN Forums
July 15, 200521 yr Users boot screens will be welcome.Offtopic: sorry for the spelling, my keyboard is dying.
July 15, 200521 yr Author Thanks XPeroHeres my dodgy excuse for a bootscreen Just a first ideai wasnt gonna put any detail in it because of the palette this is just a standard gif file, i wasn't going to put it in the full ladida standards.The picture looks crappy small (well it is crappy, but looks better when it is full size)So has anyone else got any they'd like to share?

July 15, 200521 yr My idea was a blue background with the Windows logo in the middle (maybe white), with or without progress bar. Someone?
July 15, 200521 yr HiXPeroheck this out.http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12148457/http://www.deviantart.com/view/9074112/http://www.aero-soft.com/board/showthread.php?p=10680
July 15, 200521 yr Author Still they look good Thanks anyway itsme_4ucz, try and find us a good bootscreen.
July 15, 200521 yr I've found a nice one according to XPero's suggestions about the blue background.The only thing to do is a xpize personalisation.Download it here. Credits for the author (who I'm not)http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?...ID=470&LibID=32
July 16, 200521 yr Author I think it is the NTOSKRNL.EXE file but you need to get the image right, you can search google for guides to editing the ntoskrnl file, i will try and find some later - ATM im reading HP and the HBP
July 16, 200521 yr @itsme_4ucz:It's in a format for using with a program called bootskin.The wallpaper can be extracted and edited to make the XPized one.
July 16, 200521 yr let's make it simpler. I really like what flyakite did in his OSX. So, a blue background (no gradient, no images) with a windows logo in the middle (maybe white, if color support does not let a good looking flag)
July 16, 200521 yr It's not Flyakite who invented that... Check Mac OS X and... Well, you know what I mean....
July 16, 200521 yr so... you mean something like this, right? windows_boot.zip Edited July 16, 200521 yr by SiMoNsAyS
