2 things; the file name of the progress bar Starcraft 2 .1.bmp may be causing the corrupted file that booskin would not open.

also the progress bar does not have the same color pallet as the screen image, they must be the exact same 16 colors used for both.

means that it must have all 16 colors as the background or some of these color
and I used the same palette of the background the same colors
I changed the name Starcraft 2.1.bmp to Starcraft 2 progress bar.bmp

but still the same error

Just took another look your screen image is 640x404 not 640x480 that it must be.

With screen image wrong size bootskin will error and not load it into config list.
