    Realy nice.

    Love the first and the second one from madsrh.
    And the 3rd one from htpc_for_me. I don´t like the icons on the other two.

    Feels good to have grapics people like you on the community.

    Yes i really like all splashscreens, but could the MP logo be slightly more lightened to make it stand out more.

    Just throwing in some more ideas in...

    Made the logo bigger and overlap the sides

    The next few I tried to keep them simple and not add too much (if any) to the background.

    This one has 2 interlaying meanings and they are 1, its open source so every one can have a go and 2, it unlocking your home theater pc.

    Just a funky idea which I had when I found the image.

    This is going to be it for me if they are not going to be used. So I hope you like them all


    Here’s the PSD file if you wish to have it. It’s a bit messy as I have not named the layers just the groups.

    Does anyone have any working bootskins along these lines that they would be willing to share with the greater community

    Have you looked in the "Download --> HTPC customization" section??

    Makeing bootscreens from these splash screens don't really work, because Windows XP only allows 16 colors (Win98 = 256 colors), don't know about Windows Vista yet. Anyway, with 16 colors they will NOT look good!

    hi,
    Because the splash screen can't be changed on-the-fly without recompiling the source, I would prefer not to have a razzle-dazzle window that eats up to 1/3 of the screen each time I start the application. In fact I don't feel the need to change it, at all.

    IMHO splash screens like the ones proposed are in a way "clunky", and prone to show-off. This is only my opinion, this is not meant to be aggressive in any way. The current splash screen is all I need, it is unobtrusive and only displays the needed info.
