Animated Startup screen

[anoop007]

Hey atlast I succeeded in making an animated startup screen logo for Windows.

Pretty ugly though

See the Attatchment

Hey the atactchment is here!

Its okay... just need one for win2000 advanced server now

Damn! You beat me...my home PC is only running the bog standard W2K Server. Damn fine OS tho...

Anyone know how to do the startup screens for W2K then? (Progress bar an all? Or is that seperate to the logo and Windows just tags it on the bottom?)

An while I'm at it... my WinME won't show a splash screen when it's loading at all...is it just me or is it general M$ bundeling?

Hey.. how did you two manage to rate it as FAIR?.. I myself voted for ugly..

Well it wouldn't be my logo of choice...would need some rather lusious lovely draped over it for that, but it's better than some I've seen.

hehe me got ADVANCED, for ADVANCED people

me WinME's splash screen does that to, but you see it for like 1/2 second

Nah...WinME's splash screen doesn't appear at all for me...it did once...while I was first installing Windows it appeared when the setup program rebooted the machine...the spash screen apeared for like half a second or so (it looked like a fancier 98 style splash screen) but I never saw it again...anyways I don't care...I only use ME cos me TV card software won't work in Win2k Server... does work in Pro tho.l..so I might make that my secons OS instead

i dont suggest haveing 2 NT builds on one machine... but i have had WinNT SBS server, WinNT server4 and NT4 with win95 all on one machine :P

your website is a bit hard on the eyes!

Which browsers did you test it on - because there's no links visible with NS6

I haven't tested it with NS 6... just b'coz i don't have it..

But it worked fine with NS 4.7.. but i thought that using light backgrounds were not hard on the eyes?

On the whole light backgrounds are ok, but you're using bright yellow, which is not nice to look at for too long...

Try setting your desktop colour to the same shade of yellow and see how long you can stand it.

Go for either dark backgrounds or light but not bright colours... like a pale yellow if you must...or off white/grey etc... I'm not saying it has to be boring, just not luminous.

Um...the other thing I noticed...

Claiming how great you are everywhere makes you sound a bit arrogant. Sorry.

I found it that the nicest desktop color is:

R=58
G=110
B=165

just my opinon

all I see is banners

Mostly everything loads for me in IE 5.5, but the left menu doesn't seem to load

Hey.. oh! Mark I just misunderstood you.. I thought you guys were talking about the ediary.cjb.net website of mine... it uses light colors... sorry!

Matt.. for your sake i've changed my site URL.. www.anoop.isonfire.com ... still rude?

Steve.. I think the site is too IE biased for NS 6

I was just searching for something on animated logos and yourthread came up. How do you get the bitmap to rotate the colors?

I wrote a small app that randomly selects startup screens and would like to use some animated .bmps.

Also some of the .jpgs I converted with Photoshop animate on their own and I would like to stop that.
Any thoughts?

Well if you on about the bar at the bottom, I don think you control that.
