Vanquish Boot Screen Editor Software
The Vanquish Boot Screen Editor allows you to make your own custom graphics that can be
loaded onto you Vanquish Paintball marker using the Vanquish USB Tool software. These
graphics can be displayed when you turn on the Vanquish to make your Vanquish unique to
you.
The Vanquish Screen is 128 pixels high by 32 pixels wide.
The Boot screen editor gives you access to each individual
pixel. A white pixel in the editor shows how the pixel will be
illuminated on the Vanquish screen. A black pixel signals
the pixel will not be illuminated.
Using the Vanquish Boot Screen Editor
- Pixels that are turned On are White. Left click a pixel
with the mouse to turn it On.
- Pixels that are turned Off are Black. Right click a pixel
with the mouse to turn it Off.

Click File>Save to save the custom boot screen. The graph-
ics created in the Vanquish Boot Screen Editor are saved
