mikejd1 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 only thing that sucks, these dont look right on widescreen monitors, the boot is stretched :( no1 said: Hey folks,Thought you might be interested in being the first to get hold of a small tool I whipped up - Vista Boot Logo Generator! It basically takes the hard work out of generating the new high res 800x600 & 1024x768 24-bit colour boot screens, so you can spend more time creating your works of art :-) You can get it here: Vista Boot Logo Generator v1.1 It is still very much a beta, so use at your own risk. Have fun :-) Cheers, Dan UPDATE: v1.1 is now out which fixes a blank screen bug that some people were experiencing. hey man, Is it possible for you to also make a selection for widescreen resolutions?

ady199 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Has anyone got any boot screens I could have - I'm looking for the screens to be both in 800x600 & 1024x768 24bit. Thanks in advance.

A workaround would be to essentially 'anamorphically' create your boot screen. For instance this oval would be expanded out to a circle on a 16:10 screen.

forrie Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Has anyone noticed in the Aero transparency that seems to reveal a hidden layer, when you move the windows around, there is a pattern - which is very close to (of not the same as) the original logon window pattern. I wonder if there's some clever way to replace this. Imagine your favorite character Freddy Krueger On a related note: I was pretty disappointed at Stardock's "LogonStudio" - hardly a "studio" as all it does as replace the bitmap! Lame.

MtnDewCodeRedFreak Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'd like the Vista orb the size of the soda-can (bottom or top) at the slight above of the center of the screen, with the white words "Windows Vista" in appropriate fonts below the orb, and the green scrolling bars below the "Windows Vista."
