So... animated Windows startup screens?
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 by Stardock, can't find the link now, but I got a bootskin and profile logon screen from them somewhere!

*EDIT* Found it! *EDIT*

You'll also need this!

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?

couldn't you just get the interface art out of the VPs?

I think this is kind of similair to my Cb amin -> screensaver thread a few years ago
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
