Heya Apoco, could you dome a favor? I'm also interested in tinkering with Bootskins, had fun last night learning how to do it from readmes and previous Bootskin files, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why my ProgressBar distorts the Screen. I can't seem to find the problem. If you find a solution, could you give me a buzz?

I had the same problem at first. You have to make sure that you are using the same palette colors for both (background image and progress bar)
The way I do it is;
1) Create/resize the background image at 640 X 480
2) Convert the image to 16 colors.
3) Save the image as 4bit BMP (after you save it, DON'T close the program)
4) Create a NEW document 22 X 9
5) Make the progressbar and convert it to 16 colors. Since you didnt close the program, it will apply the same 16 colors as the 1st image.
6) Save it as 4bit BMP and presto, it should work without any distortion

A couple things, in my opinion to make it the perfect bootskin...
1. The light going into the eye is much too advanced for 16 colors. I think that it would look better without it.
2. Like CoyoteMy said, a trackbar would be SOO much cooler
3. I love the rest! Great work. 8.4!

Thank you Arraci for the comment and suggestion.
I agree with the eye flame. But to remove it I would have to redo the entire design since I didnt save the original .psd file
I will be making an update with a progressbar

The only piece of criticism I have is that it'd look alot better without the "Loading Windows... Please Wait.." text in my opinion. I'd love to see it with a trackbar similiar to the one on the "Flying Dragon" bootskin.
Great work. Can't wait to see more from you.
