DigitalE Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) Well, the black & white "LONGHORN" boot screen for Beta 1 was getting kinda old and boring... So I figured I'd make my own boot screen. Nothing fancy, but it's better than the original one... EDIT- Get it here! (Note to people who are wondering: This is a boot screen for Longhorn/Vista Beta 1, not Windows XP) Post comments or suggestions!

Angel Blue01 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 That's nice. Does anyone know is they're planning on updating the boot screen to more than 16 colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P!P Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks. Can't wait. I found a white updated Windows Vista bootscreen but I'll upgrade to this color one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userguy Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Wow... That would be amazing if they did that. 586358057[/snapback] I agree. Other operating systems have been doing it for seven years, eight years? Microsoft coming into the 21st century would be quite amazing indeed.

chavo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Do people really customize thier bootscreens still? It's something you see once in a while for about 2 seconds. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaStErHaCk Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 That's nice.Does anyone know is they're planning on updating the boot screen to more than 16 colors? 586357950[/snapback] Yes, they'll do that! Maybe in beta 2.... Maybe someone know the "banimres.dl" from longhorn build 4074? This file got the ressources of a new bootscreen with 24 bit colordeep! The new bootscreen is using lddm and it could be enabled in 4074! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidonocu Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Question about this bootscreen though. Shouldn't it have the flag with highlights in the center of the cross? That's the XP flag. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Even the Windows 9x boot screens had 256 colors. I change my boot screen every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petroid Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Just for comparison what did NT look like (workstation)? 586365898[/snapback] The bootscreen? It was just a blue screen, much like a kernel exception error... An interesting note, although all of Windows 4.0 (Non-NT) supported 256 color bootscreens, Windows 2000 only supported 16 colors. Unfortunately that is one thing Windows XP kept. Ahh well, it's only onscreen for few seconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raa Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 If that's the bootscreen, then it looks very boring :sleep: And petro? You smell :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wize_guy123 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I actually modified my bootscreen to WizeXP :p.. And it is nicer than having to look at Windows XP all the time. I mean, unless you were talented and changed your bootscreen right away with XP, then you looked at that thing for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 2, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2006 Wrong flag i laughed when i seen that.. it's the windows XP bootscreen.. modified to say Vista LMAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperSnake Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) That's one good funny bootscreen *doesn't install it because he doesn't have Vists* Oh yeah, that site where you got the screenshot, early Windows 2000 boot screen! XP Beta 2 actually had a pretty neat one as well: Edited February 2, 2006 by ViperSnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
