Boot Skin

from Stardock Forums
Hey Everyone, right now i am currently in Afghanistan doing the deployment thing. I was wondering if someone can make me a bootskin of the Boston Red Sox. If someone can do that then let me know. If you dont want to use this to talk back and forth i have yahoo messenger ihaveaclue2002@yahoo.com. Thank you for whom ever does that for me SPC Smith

Just to make sure have you loaded and made sure that bootskin works on your system? Bootskin won't work for all installs. I'm sure I am over thinking it, just checking.

I can't speak for the rest of Stardock but thank you for all your efforts over there sir.

OK, Yes Bootskin works for my system. If you are going to make this for me can you put some creativity into it. Like i seen a giants one that looked like stickers put on a peice of paper. If you can do that for me I would be greatly appreciated. Ill give you a little idea, Boston Red Sox Logo, and maybe like Manny Ramirez on the side of the screen swinging the bat, On a white background. If you have a better idea then feel free to create it. Well thank you. If you do a really good job some of my commo buddies want some also so ill come to you for it. Thanks again.

Well I might not be the best to handle this but I can give it a try. One thing about bootskin though. It is 8bit color with a max resolution of about 640x480. Basicly by today standards it's "crappy" as the technical term goes. Just be aware if I do it (or anyone else that wants to take the spot here) anything complex or detailed looks bad. Anything simple looks pretty good by contrast. I would think Manny would understand if you used the Sox logo instead since the outcome would look better. Just my suggestion. 

I would be happy to help but I got a ton on my plate atm. I will do it if no one else can just could take a bit is all.

It is 4bit 16 color bitmap at 640x480, if you want a progress bar it is also 4bit 16 color and must have the same color palette as the screen image.

I wasn't wrong making the bootskin. I was wrong about the 8bit color that I mentioned before.

Glad you like it. :)
