Title: So... animated Windows startup screens?
Post by: Cobra on February 16, 2008, 04:54:14 pm

I've gotten this crazy idea to put the GTA logo on my Windows XP start up screen, with the light moving across the logo like it does in the CBanim. Is it possible, and if so, how the hell do I make it like that? :P

Try Bootskins (http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=32) by Stardock, can't find the link now, but I got a bootskin and profile logon screen from them somewhere!

*EDIT* Found it! (http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=7449&libid=26) *EDIT*

You'll also need this! (http://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/downloads.asp)

OK, until I can figure out how to screw up my computer's boot process, I'm thinking about doing an XP theme based off of FS1's menu.

Problem is, every screenshot I take turns out badly and you can't see anything at all. Anyone want to be a sport and help me out here?
