:inspired: I need a graphic artist that can make a boot screen with a grim reaper in the middle of the screen and under that a couple of spaces below a progress bar in the shape of four bones and inside a sythe that does a 360 degree turn going across the screen and below that a couple of spaces the words Anonymus Slayer but with slayer below anonymus (mirror form) also you can have the words in style you want. Please and thank you
ScreenW and ScreenH= 800X600 24-bit 1024X768 24-bit
these are a must have screen width and height

A little bit adventurous don't you think ;)
as you can no doubt see from all the replys u got!
How about asking for a grim reaper with the animted bones bar then you might stand a chance ;)
i'm not speaking for everyone of course but from the replies you have etc work it out :)
-
Hello no prob, can you tell us what you're working on? That might help someone put the time and effort in that you need.

UR too vague.
It would be like a group coming to me and asking me to write a intro to advertise a demo conference without telling me the name of the party or even if my hard work would be used.
M'be if U applied some of the thoughts in this topic;

to your plea for help you might get something drawn for UR prod.

I was trying to make a boot screen for my own personalized laptop boot screen instead of the regular windows boot screen. I tried and failed miseriablly :vangry: :(. I didn't know who to turn to except ya in hope that someone could do this little favor for me. I would like the Grim Repear just the way I said it but if you think ya can make something much cooler to your liking then by all means go head I am in no position to be picky. So have at it and enjoy being adventurous. ya can all so put yourname on it in small letters like a copy right. If ya do this then this will let people know who done the awsome artwork for me :updance: :kewl:
Thank You :buddies:

@no prob:
If you really want such a loader image only for your own private usage, then you could use google, type in "Grim Reaper" and display all images... I did this some seconds ago and i am sure there will be some really cool images you could use or modify for own own needs as long as you use the modified version only for you! Have you tried this way? Btw, sorry but i don't understand why people want to change the bootscreen. There is a tool with a lot of skins and boot loader images available... i don't know the name yet but possible you will find something there ;)
-
I tried that but they don't ft my taste and if they did they did not have the attributes need to make the boot screen criteria
-
I reccommend Google too.

I really can't see any artist wanting to spend ages on drawing a picture so it can be displayed on just one computer even if you allow them to sign thier artwork or not!
I've been wrong plenty of times before though so who knows..
-
Yeah but hopefully someone will do it. Is there a way I can make a image fit the screen even if it's another image size?
-
Active desktop; (right click)
Desktop tab;
Position : - Stretch
Will stretch the image to fit your screen.

@Shockwave:
This only works for images on the desktop... but as i understand it right, "no prob" will use it as bootloader image...!?
@no prob:
If you want use it as boot loader, the image must be 640x480 and afaik only 256 colors. You can use nearly and Graphicprogramm to convert/resize an image like your bootloader image... (Personally i would never change a system file (resource) for such a thing)

I wonder if that's why Vista doesn't have a boot screen?

Actually Vista does have a boot screen. it is that animated loading bar but through study I found that I can extended the timer to how long or how short I want the screen displayed
-
Nothing like the Windows 95-XP splash screen though - just a loading bar followed by the Vista icon just before the login screen. :)

Well I slapped something together for you mostly from something i did before its 800x600 i hope u can use it if not you can hack it up yourself with stuff you find on the web. If im not mistaken (probably am) boot screen is 256 colors this is rgb 24 bit so you might have to reduce colors then it will probably look really crap because of the gradients used. so you will get banding (ughh) but since its on only your computer.......... :) I spent about 10 minutes on this. If you need something for a released prod let me know
-
15 more minutes and ........ more crap lol anyway im never satisfied even for a one off never to be seen again thing so another version
