gfffff Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I can tell from 100% sure that the bootscreens aren't final, they never are in RTM versions. RTM means 'release to MANUFRACTURER' which isn't the version that will be released to consumers at home. At work we have Vista running and we have a normal bootscreen, with a vista logo and a blue smooth bar, not a green one. If the RTM was to be released to the consumers, we would have had VISTA already at home, by buying it in stores. RTM is always a version before the REAL official release to consumers. Always has been like that. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/511257-vista-boot-screen-contest/page/4/#findComment-588197791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Caro Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Vista has a boot screen that by default is deactivated... if you can call that a boot screen. run "msconfig" and check the "no gui" thing in boot options. The boot screen is a darkened version of aurora... I think it doesn't have text on it. It sucks :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/511257-vista-boot-screen-contest/page/4/#findComment-588216965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izlude Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 im too curious about the aurora in nogui... does anyone have any solid facts about what they were gonna do? I looked it up and they said it had something to do with the motion desktop. Now this is off topic, but when I imagined motion desktop, I was thinking of that aurora picture being animated and all aura-ee type, and that you could actually have a 3-D space in the desktop, you know more interactive rather than just a moving picture. Doesn't the default aurora in the nogui boot look like it was going to be animated somehow? It reminds me of the background from media center. Something like that.

Squeeto Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Izlude I suggest you extend your Jan. 30th deadline. There is some good work here. My favorite, so far, is 3gh7.gif. http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3gh7.gif But I like the idea of an orb such as vistaboot.gif. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r292/Mi...e/vistaboot.gif I think that it would be cool to use the pallet from 3gh7 and make a smoother globe of vistaboot.

Squeeto Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 This is such a nice boot screen, I thought that I would pass it on. Glass Windows by swissboyThis bootscreen is based on the "Blue Glass XP logo" wallpaper created by "DeAgOnZ". The package contains two versions of english ntoskrnl.exe, with Windows XP Service Pack and without Service Pack, because this two versions are not compatible. The ntoskrnlSP.exe is the version 5.1.2600.1224 for Windows XP with Service Pack 1, but should also working with the upcoming Service Pack 2. The ntoskrnl.exe is the version 5.1.2600.115 for Windows XP without Service Pack. The package contains also all bitmaps and five wallpapers 1600x1200 in five different color tones. This bootscreen has a customized color palette and a vertical moved progress bar. For only 16 colors looks realy good! Thanks for the permission to use his wallpaper to "DeAgOnZ". Please read also the in this package included ReadMe.htm for installation and more. For more information about the "swissboy bootscreen collection CD-ROM", please visit this link: http://www.dr-pepper.de/swissboy/swissboyCD.html He has a few colors to choose from if you can find the download.
