[Keldyn]

[MulletRobZ]

All right. I'll remove my user name and e-mail and I'll make two versions of this. One with the original logo and one with the remix similar to what I created recently.

Its getting betta but i think you need a bit of writing and a different colour.

e.g. Blue is the defult for windows XP

Otherwise getting better keep it up

Man people can be meen. Hey, I like the way it's comig along, it would have gone great with my neowin visual style... that i never finished. BUT i did start working on it again. Anyway That last screeny you posted looks purple? Try and make it blue and it would look great!

[MulletRobZ]

Colour change has been done, m2x-ADMIN, and the boot screen is now available on ThemeXP. No need to worry about Service Packs this time as the boot screens are SP0, SP1, and SP2-Beta compatible. Here's the link:

There's three beta build for SP2. You may forgot about that.

There's three beta build for SP2. You may forgot about that.

I'm pretty sure those will work with the boot screen file (NTOSKRNLSP.EXE) I provided. It's for SP1 and the beta builds of SP2, as I have obtained from swissboy, who is a boot creating maniac. So no worries about there. The NTOSKRNL.EXE file is for those with no Service Pack installed. :)

Dude, ur boot screen is about 2 billion times better than the first one. Nice job

[MulletRobZ]

LOL. Just let me know if you folks want me to make some more colour schemes. Over 2600 downloads so far! :D

[MulletRobZ]

Well it's been almost a year and a half (and almost 7 000 downloads later, LOL) since I published this version of the Neowin boot screen. However, I was kind of unimpressed lately with the glow effect. I wanted to reload the original source files in order to clean up the glow effect and port the screen to SP2, but I lost them when my hard drive suddenly got fried a couple of weeks before I moved from Moncton, NB to Lennoxville (Sherbrooke), Qu?bec. And with University life being incredibly busy, I was unable to put any real focus on my graphic art.

Well today, since I didn't have too much to deal with, I thought I'd redraw the logo just for kicks and eventually turn it into an SP2-compliant boot screen. I still have to put in the progress bar and work on the other resources, but here's the base image for Neowin II (which I believe is much cleaner than the original):

BTW, it was unfortunate that I was unable to make additional colours for the boot screen, but I'll see what I can do this time.

don't want to hurt your feelings but that's not that great...just use the real logo instead.

[MulletRobZ]

The problem with the real logo is that it's not completely symmetrical, and that impedes my ability to insert various effects. I always like to redraw something from scratch instead of just copying the old logo (makes things even more interesting to work on), so over the next few months (depending on what time I have available), I'll be redrawing most of my older boot screens in order to clean them up a bit and make them SP2-compliant as I kind of stopped work on them in March 2004.

hehe quite good... keep it up :yes: needs to have the current, default blue and logo tho IMO...

btw whats the difference with SP1 bootscreen and SP2 one? the above image seems to have more colors... (well more than 16)... is that the difference?

thanks :yes:

[#Michael]

Ok, so I started reading thru the tread thinking this was something new without looking at the dates and then I did :woot:

So for lack of something better to do......a quote from radish?:

holy thread resurrection, batman!

Actually, in that preview image, I didn't run the Colour Indexing yet, but I did correct the colour to the proper hue of Blue. The only real difference between the Boot Screen available for SP1 and Gold releases and the work in progress for SP2 is that I concentrated the glow to inside the logo instead of having the colours get scattered all over the place. As soon as I have the new screen completed, I'll let you know.

[Lee G. Veteran]

:no:

[biorK]

I didn't realize this was an old thread before I saw all the fuss about SP2 beta releases :p

[Dean W]

Did it even finish? lol

[MulletRobZ]

After doing the Indexing and the latest colour changes, this is what the boot screen should roughly look like once it's done. Still have a bug tweaking the "Hibernate" (renamed Saving Session) bar and I got a couple of resources to replace. Once this is done, virtually every resource would be tweaked to the hilt (even the Diagnostic Screen whenever you have to type in "chkdsk /f" and restart).
