Title: Encom/Tron themed boot screen (Stardock bootskin)
Post by: Richard_Nixon on February 09, 2012, 08:51:57 pm

Hey guys, just thought I would share this bootscreen I just made, for any of you with Tron themed cabs. Soon it shall adorn my Tron themed coffee table.
Anybody that remembers Dillinger's desk from the first Tron should recognize this.

To install: (if you have Stardock Bootskin installed)
rename the extension of the ZIP file to .BOOTSKIN
and open

If anybody wants some tweaks, different text or somthing, let me know.

It would be cool in a vertical format as well.

Does bootskin do vertical screens properly?

I doubt it - that's before the video driver loads, so it most likely is going to be horizontal only.

Thanks for sharing - I love it!

Yeah, but if you have your monitor rotated 90 degrees in your vertical-only cabinet, you can use the vertical image the correct way.  ;)
