*scoffs* My only problem was MSPaint not saving the 16 color pallette, otherwise I read the entire Bootskin files thoroughly. I get an award. But you didn't explain something Stumpy. I've noticed alot of users, including myself now that I've restored PC, that doubel-clicking the .bootskin file or importing it into the program gives the error message "Corrupt file". Only way to add a skin is to cr

You could start out with bootskins, it's very simple to do and a good skin can keep you busy for an hour or two.. I'm home 24/7 too and waiting on SSI/Disability acceptance.. Do you mind if I ask what your condition is Psiko?
Thanks Jaf, I'll do that.
Thanks to those that offered help and.. nothing to those that were trying to get attention. I'll keep trying periodically, hopefully it'll upload someday as I do want to donate to the community.
ooh, lol.. Plain and simple "Chaos and Rain".
Depends on how you view "naught or nice" by either religious beliefs or ones own beliefs. However, no matter what belief it is, I've been bad since I've renounced my religion and affiliation with God due to my health problems and the way the world is. However, if I was good, I don't know what I would want besides a cure for IC.
The names are pretty simple: chaosandrain.zip chaosandrainpreview.jpg
I've attempted over 50 times and still no success. Who do I have to sleep with around here inorder to get it uploaded?
Not sure if it's due to the servers being down or something.. but there are new downloads being posted that aren't updates, so I dunno.. I'm trying to upload a bootskin, but after I click submit, a minute later, I get a white-page with a link to skins2.wincustomize.com Sorry to bother for help again, but can anyone resolve this problem? I tryed yesterday morning, evening, and now today, and I still can't upload the file..
Probably the site, because I've been trying to upload a bootskin, but the upload always fails.
Thanks for the help. I guess I can't trust MSPaint to keep the 16 color palette correct. I'll upload the file later IF I get authorization from the owner of the art-piece from Deviantart. Again, thanks for the help.
Yes, progress bar is at 22x9x4bpp and the background is 640x480x4pp. Progress bar works perfect and is fitted exactly into place as I wanted, but I'm still having the color-distortion problem with the main image. It's fine until the progress bar loads. Both images use same 16color pallette. File sent.
But this time from someone that researched before attempting to ask a friendly question.. Kinda interested in bootskinning so I read up on it last night and was successful in creating them, but for the life of me, I cannot understand this one problem and cannot find information on how to fix it. The problem being something simple, I'm sure, but I just cannot find the error. Anyways, the problem is that the skin works fine without a progress bar, but with a progress bar, the

Whenever I get a spare $50 I'll have to subscribe to these skin-ste-things.. However, for me, that'll be along while.. Got many many Doctor bills to pay and future visits to save-up for, grrr. Don't suppose there's a discount for those with incurable deseases?
Sorry to hear about the troubles, I hope everyone can pull together, but remember that it is the Holidays, so put family first.
