Strangest thing is....there's only 2 images and one ini file and even with the text instructions people are stumped as to how it works.
Jafo thinks there is a dumbing-down of modern society....or laziness.....or both.....

(Although of course on a messageboard you actually have to read the text too.....seems to me it'd take much less time and effort to RTFM.

If I knew how, I would make a bootskin.

Take one 640x480 image....
Reduce it to 4bit 16 colours....
Copy an existing ini file....
edit it in notepad to have the nnew image name....
New author details....
Zip them....
rename 'zip' extension to 'bootskin'....
Done.
Progress bar needs one more image....same 16 colour palette, and a location in the ini for where it is and how wide it progresses.
End of story.

Progress Bar = 22x9 - 16 Colours (4 Bit)
Both palettes must be exactly the same, (Svae palette from main pic - Load into Progress Bar)
Use and alter the .INI file from an existing BootSkin
Hope that helps
