I gave the second one a try -- followed everything but the whole thing ended up in one color. Any tips?

bootskin has to be in 4bit I believe. depending on the program you use, some programs don't scale the color down the way you want. Try Irfanview for after the pic is done. Open the pic in Irfanview and under image, decrease color depth. The progress bar has to be the same colors as the main I think. Never made a bootskin...have trouble just getting it to work.

Hello........had same thing on my old dell.......Click here https://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/ ........look for:Alternative Versions:
Some drivers and bios makers "break the rules" which can cause BootSkin to not work correctly. If you experience that, you can remove BootSkin by deleting \windows\system32\drivers\vidstub.sys. And then try one these alternative versions:
BootSkin 1.02
http://storage.stardock.com/files/bootskin102_free.exe
BootSkin 1.03
http://storage.stardock.com/files/bootskin103.exe

Hope this helps
