ok it worked


Did you reboot to test, since images have different color palettes the colors are distorted at boot up, the preview in bootskin will not show this.

Right click and save the progress bar below, replace yours with it, it has the color palette of the screen image.

Sorry, did not work, PhotoBucket has changed the bitmap to a full color jpg.

Hey XMikeyX, for paint see reply 17, for paint.net, I have not used it for a long time so can't remember if it handles 4 bit images well. Or you can use link in reply 30 and download progress bar that has palette of the screen image that I fixed up for you to use.
