Title: Omnimaga Boot Screen
Post by: imo_inx on January 17, 2012, 11:56:24 am
I've finally created a boot screen of Juju's avatar on Window 7.
Due to legal issues (I think) I cant upload the program, but you can get it here: http://www.coderforlife.com/projects/win7boot/ (http://www.coderforlife.com/projects/win7boot/)
Note: I've also included a default backup Windows 7 boot screen in case Juju gets boring.

It should be changed to Juju avatar boot screen, because otherwise it's misleading to say Omnimaga Boot Screen if the boot screen isn't the Omnimaga logo. :P

Does that show up instead of the "Loading operating system..." screen?

Yes, instead of the four light poins morphing into the windows symbol, you will have Juju.

Hey, that's pretty sweet! :D Is it an animated GIF or what? If it isn't a gif and sound could be added, that would be really neat! ;D

That looks epic! What would be even more epic is an actual Omnimaga Boot Screen with the logo, banner, site design, etc popping up each time you boot! One of the best site designs ever popping up every time you boot.

yup, you could!
changing the images/colours used by plymouth bootloader is pretty straight forward. assuming that's what the latest ubuntu is still using, just look in /lib/plymouth.
