only thing that sucks, these dont look right on widescreen monitors, the boot is stretched :(

Hey folks,

Thought you might be interested in being the first to get hold of a small tool I whipped up - Vista Boot Logo Generator! It basically takes the hard work out of generating the new high res 800x600 & 1024x768 24-bit colour boot screens, so you can spend more time creating your works of art :-)

You can get it here:

Vista Boot Logo Generator v1.1

It is still very much a beta, so use at your own risk. Have fun :-)

Cheers,

Dan

UPDATE: v1.1 is now out which fixes a blank screen bug that some people were experiencing.

hey man, Is it possible for you to also make a selection for widescreen resolutions?

A workaround would be to essentially 'anamorphically' create your boot screen.

For instance this oval would be expanded out to a circle on a 16:10 screen.

Took me a while to figure it out, but here goes: :p

Right click, properties on winload.exe.mui, Security tab, click Advanced, Owner tab, click Edit, select yourself in the list, OK, OK.

Close properties window, reopen, Security tab, Edit, Full Control for yourself.

Has anyone noticed in the Aero transparency that seems to reveal a hidden layer, when you move the windows around, there is a pattern - which is very close to (of not the same as) the original logon window pattern. I wonder if there's some clever way to replace this. Imagine your favorite character Freddy Krueger

On a related note: I was pretty disappointed at Stardock's "LogonStudio" - hardly a "studio" as all it does as replace the bitmap! Lame.

I cannot for the life of me make this work, I have tried for 3 days, and nothing wants to work, it simply will not go to the boot screen I made, i used the tool 1.1 and 1.2, and put it in c:\windows\system32\en-US and it still defaults to the aurora picture with blackened edges, the default noguiboot picture. Can someone help me with this, possibly take a look @ the bootscreen.exe.mui i made to see if thats the problem? here is a pic of what i made. Bootscreen link since imageshack is down :|

What language do you use? If it's not English, then you have to put the file in the appropriate folder. For example, if you use the German version, you have to put the file in \Windows\System32\de-DE.

I'd like the Vista orb the size of the soda-can (bottom or top) at the slight above of the center of the screen, with the white words "Windows Vista" in appropriate fonts below the orb, and the green scrolling bars below the "Windows Vista."

Picky, picky, picky - I know, lol.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
