Hey all, I was wondering how all the authors on Wincustomize.com can make boot skins, i have WinCustomize BootSkin program i just want to make one. Can n e 1 help?

well, i've never used that program, but if you download a skin (for example this: http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=2102&LibID=32 ) you'll see that you download a *.bootskin file. Rename it to *.zip and see what it contents. It has 3 files: two bmp and one ini. If you look the images and read the ini file, you'll quick notice how to do skins


edit: oh! btw: http://www.joeuser.com/articles.asp?c=1&aid=1886&u=0

Thanx very much for the info.

kind of a problem...when i rename the file back to a *.bootskin, windows wont let me put "*" in the rename! help!! how do i make the files a boot skin? *.bootskin \

Edit: nvm fixed

If you scroll down, the site shows you have to install boot screens.


BUT ! be VERY careful.
You could seriously mess things up and your computer might not boot.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO USE THE CORRECT FILE, OR YOUR SYSTEM WILL LOCK UP ON BOOT.

Hah, anyway.  If you've already got it working, theres more boot screens to chose from on the site.

ok thanx tiity

Stick to Stardock's Bootskin if you can, DO NOT replace the .exe manually. Using Bootskin shouldn't cause any problem, changing the files manually can **** up your bootup (it's not hard to solve if you backup, but hey, don't try to )

kk, thanx.

I have bootxp and wanted to try it but didn't get any time. I'll try it later.
Boot xp will do rite or is "WinCustomize's BootSkin program" better ???

I unno, i ahvent tried boot XP yet.

Ya actually someone reffered it to me. So i'll try it out and tell u later if u want
EDIT: Really How much does it cost ???
