Change Boot Logo/Screen?

ive still running test of all of our progress on this project in SP1 Beta. im not sure if its me doing it incorrectly but when i follow the tutoiral in SP1 Beta it bluescreens on boot. fixed with restore point but looking into it

An easy way to make a bmp for the animation:

1. Download Infanview
2. Install it obviously :P
3. Open it
4. Go to image menu and click on 'Create Panorama Image'
5. Click the radio button 'verticle'
6. Select images, press 'create image'
7. go image menu again and go to 'resize/resample'
8. change resolution in pixels to 200x21000
9. save image as bmp with name activity

Hope that helps.

I have created a simple GUI program that completes many of the necessary steps. See my post at https://www.sevenforums.com/customiza...tml#post929582

It evens does the image BMP animation creation so the panorama program the vlex26 pointed out isn't really necessary anymore... sorry...

i really hate my bootskin pic.

why isnt anyone respoinding to this thread?

because we're losing steam.
we might end up stuck waiting for a big company to come out with an over sized piece of customize software that costs $30

It is probably because 'everyone' working very hard on it (marcisj, joakim, and myself) moved to joakim's thread where he posted the first working version of this to be seen with detailed pictures. It is annoying to update both threads especially since a nice all-in-one is not ready for most people.

i agree with that on the whole there isnt a shiny gui app to do it and on the two thread thing

well i feel like a slacker

with all the magic you are doing in your app

How do I change the Welcome Center Icons? John

I think your asking for this:

Custom Boot Logo/Screen Example:
Browsing Miscellaneous on deviantART

How they recommended installing it:
Coder for Life - Projects - Windows 7 Boot Updater

never tried it myself but I've heard it works. Might want to check it out if that's what ur looking for. Personally I like the default, and never had a need of changing it, but that's just personal preference.

Hope this helps.
