I could be wrong, but I actually think development of bootskin has stopped due to the fact that there are just too many different BIOS versions out there and that it is therefore just impossible to create a program that will work on all WinXP computers.

hello,
can anyone teach me or give me a link to a tutorial on how to create .bootskin files that are compatible with bootskin!!

also is it possible to boot using 64-bit colours???

Here is how to make a bootskin:

And no, bootskins are limited to 16 colors, 4 bit.

I think there are 2 version out from Stardock because of the BIOS problem.

Also, if I am not mistaken, they might be waiting for Longhorn.

I thought I heard that it had been stopped because the person who created it is no longer with Stardock. I could be mistaken though.

You are mistaken You are thinking of LogonStudio where the developer disappeared without a trace...

Bootskin is going strong and will continue to do so

Great to hear that Fuzzy - Looking forward to it. Just a thought, the current version could be free and the version with 64-bit color could be part of OD..... sort of like the shareware for other programs. Might drum up some more subscribers......

We have a Bootskin here that does have high resolution boot screen support and 32bit color support (no such thing at "64 bit" color).  But the problem is that it doesn't work on all configurations -- about 75%.  And even if we released it with a big "this may not work on your system" sticker on it we would still get flamed and support calls.
