How to creat BootSkins

Friday, November 14, 2003 by ScoobyWRX STi 04 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have some skins I would like to upload that are ntskoskernal (or whatever it is exactly) that I would like to upload for everyone. Can I transfer them to a .Bootskin format. Or can someone at least tell me how to make a bootskin, or a link to explain how plz.

I believe there may be info in the read me text in the bootskin app folder and certainly info posted in several of the threads here on how to make bootscreens for the bootskin app. It just requires bmps. Also look in the WC Help message board for any bootskin threads there.

I figured that out, but I would like to know how to get the progress bar working if anyone knows. I am uploading my image right now, but there is no progress bar, when i Learn how to use it, I will update...

You'll need to define the horiz. and vert. starting points of the progress bar as well as its width. Also, the progress bar .bmp, as with the bootskin needs to be 4 bit 16 colors.

Please don't upload unfinished skins.

Wait until you've done it all....

Here's a 'guess'...the file you are trying to export is incomplete....as your skin is incomplete.

Try finishing it....including all that is 'needed' and see what happens....

Scooby - when you get the skin done come back to this thread if you're still having problems...I think it's probably your file assoc.
