stardock is being gay-- they say boot vista will be realeased spring...well guess what its almost fall and no boot vista...they have time for all these new programs but noooo...not bootskin vista

i also wish MS wouldnt change things so much-- with macs, new OS's just add on, they dont require new file types...
and MS is just stupid the way they try to get ur money every freaking way they can

I have Bootskins for Vista in my TuneUp Utilities 2007 software I use for keeping my system stable and clean. It can be found in the Styler 2 tab. Where I can create or download other boot screens for my Vista and it works very well for what I like for a boot screen.

You can find this software at this link...

the only problem i have found with using a different image (yes i have used tuneup) is that when i have to do an offline defrag, normally i get to see the textual progress of that defrag...when i change the bootskin (not the hidden longhorn one {by turning off gui in msconfig} to one of my own pics, i do not get to see that text progress...and i dont know why i dont..but i guess that has something to do with the way that tuneup 'tweaks'

Why, why, why Delilah....give me Vista Bootskin cos I can't take the default one anymore.

I have Vista Ultimate and would love to have a u-beaut boot screen just prior to the u-beaut logons I get from Logonstudio Vista, but I understand that Stardock is real busy with more than just one project...not to mention that the Bootskin developer has moved on prior to the completion of newer editions.

However, it's not a life or death situation, and Stardock WILL deliver as soon as is humanly possible.

seriously guys, Stardock had to focus on the more important stuff like Windowblinds, skinstudio, etc. Those are the major programs that they make because a lot of people want those type of things. Unless im mistaken, I think there was already a vote on what type of skins people liked the most and Windowblind skins got the most votes.

I make bootskins myself for Windows XP and i'm not waiting for a vista bootskin program even though i have a new laptop running Vista.

- that may be true that wb skins are popular and probably the most popular type of skin on this site but don't discount bootskins, check out the download#'s in the bootskin section of this site, there is tons of activity on that page, alot of people like bootskins and the download#'s prove it. I'm sure the vista bootskin section when it gets created will see crazy download activity as well when it's finally launched.

Don't take my word for it, ask Alperium, users eat up his bootskin creations on a daily basis.

Bootskins don't work on many people's PC
Bootskins CRASH some people's PCs
Bootskins are seen for maybe 30 seconds once a day for most users

I'd rather see the flagship apps moved first (like WB).  Then go for things like animated logons and more Vista-goodness with cursors. Then png support for RightClick and ObjectBar . . . THEN bootskins.

Hello is STARDOCK ever going to have a boot skin program for Vista

We can hope so but I think Bootskin for Vista would be at the lower end of applications that would generate revenue and would be at the bottom of a long list.
