bootskin help

Wednesday, October 19, 2005 by 2mebSuper6 | Discussion: Stardock Support General

alright, I was making a bootskin for myself to possibly put on the site if I get ti to work. I went in and changed the 2 image files to the proper settings and such as well as changeing the .ini* file in the new folder I made for it. Now when I load up bootskin it doesn't recognize the new skin by putting it on the list and the only option I saw to import requred having a .bootskin file which I obviously don't have the tools to make. I made a folder identical to another skin I had gotten (obviously the name was different) but it didn't show up. *had .con but it is, in fact, a .ini

You can make a .bootskin file simply by changing the .zip file extension to .bootskin. The icon will change to a bootskin icon. Double click it and it will self install to the bootskin directory. Then open the program and it should be there.

thanks. I have one more problem now. The skin is just solid purple on boot so obviously something is wrong. I'm almost certain that it is the picture that goes across the screen during loads. I can't figure out how to make this a 16-color image. Anyone have a program?

Irfanview can reduce the colors to 4bit. and it's free.
