Opening the Create Boot Screen dialog
To create your own boot screen, go to the Boot screen category and click New
Screen at the top of the list. This will open a wizard that will take you through
the following four steps:
First, select a background image for your new boot screen. To do this, click one
of the available options, for example Search local drives if the desired image is
already on your computer. If you select Capture pictures from camera or Find
pictures with Google, save the desired picture at a location where you can find
it again quickly and then click Search local drives to load the picture.
Once you have selected a background image, you can use the Alignment and
Borders functions to optimize the appearance of your picture. Please note that
the available alignment options will only have an effect when the picture is not
the correct size for a boot screen (640 x 480 pixels). Under Background, you
can specify the color that will be used for the areas that are not covered by your
image. This will also be used for the background of the progress bar (for
technical reasons).
Here you can specify the Position of the progress bar, its Foreground color and
the Border color as desired. Position the progress bar at a location that does not
interfere with the overall impression of the picture. This option is not available in
Windows Vista because the progress bar is not shown in the alternative start
screen that is used.
