HU6H Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wouldn't making the bootscreen smaller make the pixels stretch even more, making them larger and therefore uglier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustyzippo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 you want the background picture in the logon smaller? Is that where the pixels are stretched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Check out this picture. It's a mockup of the boot screen displayed two ways. On top is how it looks normally. On bottom is the way digitalsoft, and I, probably with many others, want it to look. It only appears like this when you reboot just after installing Service Pack 2. I think that it also appears like this on the first boot after installing Windows, but I'm not sure (and not prpared to test it). PS anybody know how to get rid of this thumbnail below?

CannotResolveSymbol Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Well, that would involve magically changing the screen resolution when XP boots... good luck with that. If you're using an LCD screen, you could set the monitor so it doesn't stretch low resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trance Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 most laptops have this option... maybe your monitor controls have something similar like CRS says above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
