I need help with bootskin! Please help!

I cannot create a bootskin!

Friday, August 28, 2009 by Scene | Discussion: Customization Software

I created a bootskin(made everything properly: the4-bit, the resolution, etc. are correct!) but when I open an error message saying 'Cannot import from file because of corrupted files or a read-only folder'. I think it's because of the ini file that is (maybe) incorrect. I want the progress bar to roll over the white area from black area and the to go out to the right(where theres a black area too). Could anyone who ever created bootskins create this one for me please!!! Go to the download link http://download.files.namba.kz/files/2513 and click on the link given there. The image, the progress bar and the ini file are inside.

p.s Sorry for my bad english I'm 14 and i'm from Kazakhstan.

If you have Stardock BootSkin Vista, you just open the image in it and it creates a bootskin for you, I feel its the same with bootskin Xp too !!

Xp version doesn't! You have to Create it using Photoshop. Make a bootskin from the files I gave in Bootskin Vista and post it somewhere, please.

bootskinvista basically only allows you to change the background wall

What else is there in a bootskin, its just a wallpaper

When you put it into bootskin Vista, it becomes usable as a bootscreen

Even in the Vista version you create it in Photoshop or Paint shop, its only packing up the image as a usable bootskin.

What files are you talkin' bout and where to post?????

You won't learn anything if someone does it for you. Just keep trying, you'll get it.

 Two mistakes:-The Color of Progress bar and Fonofogo images do not match - (*I corrected 

And in the file Bootskin.ini no quotes> Description =" My bootskin " 

 The corrected file can be downloaded here > http://multi-up.com/142995
