Hey davezone, This is in response to your question. I have found in the past that by using a photo editor and increasing the file size to match your screen width a little more proportionally, then resave the file (usually a bitmap) will help to decrease pixellation. Doesn't always work. You have to have a good editor that will, ironically, increase the picture without also becoming pixellated, thereby defeating the purpose. I, personally, use a free program called IrfanView and resize the picture and use an insanely large dpi in the editing portion of the picture resizer. Something like 1200 dpi should do. Then, when resized, minimal or no pixellation. I know this seems like a LOT, but trust me it isn't as bad as you would think. I can't explain it, but it's something to do with the way IrfanView works. You can experiment with it, or use a program you may already have. ********* EDITED: Forgot to mention! In case you don't already know, you can find the picture for this particular Bootskin located in the C:\Program Files\Stardock\Wincustomize\Bootskin\skins\ZeldaTwilightPrincess folder. That is where mine is anyway. If yours isn't, then obviously, you may have to search for it.
