Tips for attractive boot screens under Windows XP
All boot screens may only have 16 colors under Windows XP for technical
reasons, whereby some of these colors are prescribed by the operating system,
for example black. For this reason, TuneUp Styler must reduce the wealth of
colors in your composition (normally 16.7 million) to a very few when you click
Finish. TuneUp Styler uses a sophisticated algorithm for this to automatically
determine the best 16 colors for your picture. If the picture contains too many
different colors, the results of this conversion may not be satisfactory.
Experience has shown that the most attractive boot screens can be created with
pictures with only a small number of different colors. This means, for
example, that a picture that consists predominantly of different blue shades and
only a few contrasting colors will most likely result in an attractive boot screen.
Set the foreground color of the progress bar to a color that is contained in your
picture. This way, you do not use one of the precious 16 colors in the progress
bar only.
You should avoid skin tones in your boot screen if at all possible. Pictures with
skin tones normally cannot be displayed correctly with only 16 colors (ask any
graphical artist). Of course, you may be lucky. The best thing to do is try!
Logon Screen
If you share your computer with other users, or if you use a password to protect
your account, you are familiar with the Windows XP Welcome screen. With
Windows XP, the Logon Screen shows a list of all user accounts. A user can log
on by clicking one of these accounts and entering a password, if one is set for the
account. With Windows Vista, you need to manually enter the user name and
corresponding password.
With TuneUp Styler, you can completely change the appearance of the welcome
screen. Click Logon Screen in the navigation bar to go to this area.
