Can't be done. A .bootskin file is just a renamed zip file, in the zip is a folder with 2 .bmp images, screen and progress bar, and a .ini file that bootskin uses to apply the skin.

IVE GOT IT!!! You need to rename the .tbs file to a .zip file. Then you edit the stuff there to whatever bootskin recognizes and save the .zip file to .bootskin! I got this idea from Caven1:

A .bootskin file is just a renamed zip file


and you can guess what i thought of next. Cheers.

Make sure you don't upload any of their bootskins to here without permissions.

JonglerJack13 - Enough easy,

1 - Takes a screenshot UP TUNE Preview 

2 - We translate screenshot in 16 colors (first and second paragraph is conveniently done with the FastStone Capture) 

3 - indicator of the progress bar is cut off from the background (* can be in MS Paint and MS Paint, to save the progress bar file with another name), he gets those 16 colors) 

4 Create a file bootskin.ini 

Put all in one folder, put it in the folder \ Program Files \ Stardock \ WinCustomize \ BootSkin \ Skins

 

- That's All!
