windows boot screen/cab name

(1/3) > >>

radiator:
ok, so this is a double question (one of which could've actually gone in the 'Everything Else' forum, but what the hey)

after wrecking my brain trying to think up a name for a cab, i decided on D-PAC (Dreamcast - PC Arcade Cabinet) - i don't think this has been used yet...but, is it too similar sounding to I-Pac or J-Pac?

next, i made a quick bootup screen for windows (16 colour BMP)...what does everyone think? i think there's maybe too much yellow, but with only 16 colours i can't decide what to do!



(the loading bar is in the center, those 3 yellow dots are part of it - they just scroll from left to right)

just gotta think up a marquee design and some sideart (decided against a KOF theme because of the cab name)

 :P

Lucky S.O.B.:
Very cool, gives that extra touch of customization...

What versions of windows can you do this in? Is there a FAQ about making your own splash screen out there? More specifically for XP?

radiator:
for win 95/98* radiator you have to replace logo.sys with a bitmap file (renamed to logo.sys).
for win XP, use a program called BootXP (you can get it from this site - goto the downloads section

caykroyd:
how do you get the loading dots to scroll?  Not familiar with animated BMPs.  

Brax:
Looks terrific. I like the name too. Nice work.
