Problem with Bootskins

first of all I don't think you have your screen set at 32 colors. It doesn't matter anyway they only show up in 16. I don't know how to fix your problem though. bootskins are rather simple: two (maybe one) image and a itty-bitty ini file. So I doubt its something wrong with the bootskin itself. What it does sound like is that there is something wrong with your video driver/card. Update you video driver if possible or check your screen color settings. They might be set horribly off and you have a program that runs in the background of normal windows that changed the colors of the screen so it looks right. I haven't ever seen anything like this before so thats about as much help as I can give.

Here is my problem...every BootSkin I set my computer to use comes out looking horribly wrong. Even if it is a skin I got from this site

Makes one wonder what he has on his hard drive....

It would help if you linked to a specific skin, then we could check it out, there are some skins created wrongly and need to be adjusted by the authors, please let us know which skin causes the problem

i checked my display properties..all is well....my driver is the newest one available....idk what u r taling about when u say something in the background making my colors seem correct....idk of nething that could do that..how could something on my hard drive be effecting my screen appearance...i have Logonstudio and windowblinds however i dont see them causeing the problem...I will search my computer and see which ones caused the problem and will update a new post with the links

ok i got it to work...i dont kno what was wrong but it is fine..thanks neway...oh i tried making my own bootskins and they dont look right...i used paint shop pro 8 to make them..with the 16 colors and everything..what can i do so they do look correct..how can i edit the colors so they come out right...and is there a way to tell so i dont have to restart my comp everytime to tell if it is right...thanx

the newer version of bootskin lets you preview the bootskin. load up the program and select the bootskin, and in the lower corner there is a button called preview. press it

I have the same video card, with no trouble. Maybe you should check your monitor settings for that resolution the boots use.

i did do that preview thing and it looked fine..however when i applied it and restarted my computer it look different...so i dont kno what is wrong with my computer but it is obviously f'd up...ill prolly just uninstll bootskins i dont really restart often enough to see it neway..thanx
