Windows Vista Boot Logo Generator Beta
by dan on Jan.04, 2007, under Development
I know a lot of people were disappointed by the lack of a decent boot logo in Vista, so I’ve thrown together a tool that should simplify the process of creating the new high resolution boot logos!
Your works of art need to be saved as 24-bit BMPs, and you’ll need to create them in two sizes: 800×600 and 1024×768. On my machine the boot logo always defaults to 1024×768, but I assume the 800×600 version automatically kicks in if your graphics card is rubbish 
Once you’ve selected your two images, just click File -> “Save Boot Screen File As…” and it will generate the logo file. To make the logo come up during boot, you’ll need to copy the file to the following folder:
%windir%\System32\en-US
You’ll also need to make sure the /NOGUIBOOT option is enabled in the MSCONFIG tool, otherwise you’ll only get the old 16 colour boot screen. For full details, make sure you read the info during setup.

IMPORTANT: It’s still beta and there may be bugs so use at your own risk, and make sure you backup first!

[...] Development Dan has created a simple utility that lets you customize the boot screen that shows up when you boot up a Windows Vista PC. You can choose two images, an 800×600 and a 1024×768 image in up to 24-bit color, and they will fill your screen with wonder and color (or really stupid messages) when you start up. You can use any image you please, so long as it meets the requirements (and Photoshop, Paint.net, or even Paint can handle it), so start creating! [...]

[...] Vista Logo Generator Vistas bootscreen ist doch recht sphrlich ausgelegt. Aus diesem Grund oder einfach weil es geht *g* wurde der Vista Logo Generator entworfen. Man braucht hierfr nur das gewnschte Logo in 1024×768 und 800×600 mit 24bit Farbtife in dem Dateiformat bmp speichern und schon kann man das Programm dazu bewegen es gegen das standard Bild zu tauschen. So sieht das Programm aus: Ich habe z.B. dieses Bild als Bootscreen: Wer mehr wissen mchte und des englishen mchtig ist kann hier im Blog nochmal nachlesen wie es geht und sich das Programm runterladen: Development Dan’s Blog Blog Archive Windows Vista Boot Logo Generator Beta __________________ Just my 2 cent Nicht immer ist das, was wir sehen, die Wirklichkeit, denn die Wahrheit bleibt oftmals besser im Verborgenen.

it all started when i was a teenager, around 14. all the other kids my age where going out and getting girlfriends but because i am such a geeky retard the only girl i could get to even look at me was my pet cat. one day i saw the cat licking its own ass. i thought to myself. Its also useful for games. I read it in Game fair book. “the cat is always licking her ass, i wish i could do that”. so one day i tried it, i bent over as far as i could and began to lick… the cat seemed to like it when i licked her ass so it carried on for a while. one day my mother caught me doing it and sold the cat. it was too late, i already had the bug and had to carry on licking asses. one day i was lying down by the mirror and i put my legs behind my head, to my amazment my tongue had grown so strong from licking the cats ass that i could manouver it to lick my own ass. that my friends was the best day of my life.

When Vista came out this was a godsend… Thanks. I just finished writing a utility that does the same plus changes the resume from hibernate screen, logon screen and desktop all with the same picture. Program looks alot like yours. I am unable to distribute as my program requires imagex and resource hacker to work. I would like to send you the code (which is vb and bat files) and installer so you could finish it off. I am a programmer by no means… I have no idea how you got yours to work without redistributing imagex. I think the added resume/logon/desktop functions would finish yours off nicely.
