HoochieMamma Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Are they going to do something about it? Maybe making it more then 8bit colour maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yes it's the same in 5219. Again as chrisxtreme said, this is just a placeholder. Same thing was done for Whistler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidonocu Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 In a channel 9 video, they said they are still working on making them 'blend better' as well as new designs so we could see some new effects and no more judgering graphics flashing on and off. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensworth Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I sort of liked the clouds myself. Certainly better than just a black screen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Would be nice to see Microsoft use 32-bit color in the splash screen... or is that not possible before of drivers not being loaded or what :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensworth Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I don't think it's possible since at that point the system is still using standard VGA drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravensworth Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Windows 2000 and Me used solid white backgrounds, and that showed off the 60hz flickering much more. They looked nice but gave me a headache; I think that's why they switched to black. My favorite splash screen: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus- Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 the original idea back in the 40xx builds was to have lddm load way before you even see the slash screen so when you do see the spash screen enough drivers would be loaded to show a unique animation. They may still be trying to do that, i dont know. So basicly the splash screen could have an avalon/xaml animation instead of just a static logo and a progress bar.

StartMeUp Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Why is a splash screen so important in a pre beta II operating system? I dont get why its so important. Its a splash screen its not going to make my b0x0r more secure or run faster, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternalStorm Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Everything if just a placeholder as stated. The splash screen, login screen, pretty much a lot of the UI that doesn't make the user experience any better will hold off because they have much more important things to worry about. They could hire a graphics designer to make a design for them in no time, no need to put that useless stuff into a full operating system they are trying to build.
