Got some splash screens you want to see in WM6?
Post them here
I'm looking for two screens, one to replace the splash screen you see on startup (the one which at the moment has TEST UI over it in red), this one must be a 240x320 BMP
Also a splash to replace the WM logo, this must be a 240x320 PNG
I've attached the current first splash screen as well (unfortunately, the forum software compresses the image to JPG so probably best to host the image somewhere else and use tags)
Phil
One (edit) two from me...
bmp format 240x320 px
hope you like it
That is VERY nice
Phil
i really think that the htc images that were posted look very nice and should be used for the next release. then people can change that picture themselves if they want.
@Davex: Very nice
@Bogdi1988: Where are the files to change on the smartphone to change the boot image and the Operator image ?
i know in wm5 there was a way to change somewhere in the windows folder, and some reg editing. so i am guessing it is the same in wm6.
i remember i tryed the iphone skin for wm5 and that's how it was for that.
Here is the QTEK boot splash. Yes, I agree its pretty ugly.

yes i had me also changed these pics but i'm not sure that we can change the 3 differents pict who can see at hte boot ( green pic - operator pic - Windows mobile pic).
Here a french how to , which explain how to change bootscreen http://www.mlab.name/forum/viewtopic.php?id=54
It's one from vodafone edited by me
I want you... to chose one of these
To the authors..... the second green windows mobile logo is fine, needs not be replaced... (IMHO!)
Also note that these are color variations on the same theme..... you can choose a mix of these images.

i like the first one.... the others seem kinda boring comared to the first one that has those little designs... that's my opinion
HTC screens are nice, by the way, is that possible to remove the warning TEST ONLY?
I vote for the HTC screen on boot up, and leave the Windows Mobile screen alone.
HTC Screens from 2nd post look smart.
They would suit all brands too - ie imate, qtek etc
I vote for the second post too, nice job there

If i can find logos which are in good quality, then is no prob to make it for other brands as well. What i prefer is remove the third screen when booting (the one with operator something) and the second when shuting down (also with the operator cube or whatever). I tried to find the WM5 key where you can change/delete it but without success.

i posted four screens to randmoize various "features" around the 4.... i can make "those little designs" for the 2° screen (the cappuccino one), or can put the hourglass instead of the "starting up", can have the windows flag logo'ed in black&white, etc etc etc
jsut tell me what to do
just put the first one! it looks awesome. and also the two htc pics look great!

2 pictures are needed, one for the welcome logo, and the second for splash screen
Welcome Logo:
size 320*320, and type on it windows mobile 6 professional
Splash Screen:
size 320*240 and type TNT Series by its right (don't right wizard, becasue it will be used on other devices).
in general the black color is prefered on the other colors

this is the best till now
create something for Welcome picture too
but, try to make the text aligned to the left (so keep blank on the right) because the size 320*320 is used to be suitable for landscape too, so we have to make the text not to the center, try to make it on the top and left little bit.
did you understand me, or show you an example??
Ok, I have 2 relatively stupid questions. The first is what exactly is a bump logo? And the second is how does Sysgod get his images to load in the post like that? Is that done using the insert image button? I would try it out to see, but I don't have an account anywhere to upload it to an HTTP source.
Ok here is a Welcome Screen image that I edited, shifted to the left. Is this what you were talking about?
xeno1, you have to have someplace to upload them. If you don't have access to a site then use a free service like imageshack or something similar and just post the link to the image with the image icon in the reply menu.

yes, but also needs to be shifted to the top, and think again about the text size.
i suggest to move the windows logo down and the text to the top, imagine that the device is moving from portrait to landscape and the opposite . so i hope it will be suitable, if you want to get more clear, look at welcomehead.96.png in your windows directory (in case it is on 320*320 size)
thanks for the good work
Ok, I think I understand what your talking about. How's this?

Hey all,
I think it would be a good idea to have a one stop shop for people to get splash screens. It's something that's easy to add to your phone when it's done up but it's not always so easy for people to make them up with all the kitchens.
any way I'll try and start it off with a splash screen I made a while back and finally got around to putting on my phone if anyone wants it.
It's a simple one, but I think it fits in great with the Wizard Mobile Theme Though
I created the first one a while ago(with nothin's background from core kitchen 4.0 as a backdrop). I still have the layered pngs so I'm sure I'll end up swapping out some different backgrounds that I create or find(and uploading the merlin pngs if anyone wants em).
Let me know if I'm posting something that's already been done.
Update: Ive added an xp themed version now. I'll leave both on here if you like the version with nothin's crossbow background better
Each zip file contains an nk.nbf file to flash with the rom upgrade utility of your choice and a cab file to install the 3rd splash(welcome) screen
Just an FYI, but the 3rd splash screen (welcomehead.96..png) should be 320x320 (your's appears to be 240x320) so that it will work properly in Landscape mode. Main graphics should be in the 240x320 area, but it won't look right if you happen to be in Landscape (keyboard open) when you reboot.

Thanks mfrazz, I didnt realize that. Ill change the third splash screen a little later tonight, and will post when I do. Feel free to post any splash screens you've made as well
Ok I padded the third splash screen so it doesn't show a black bar in landscape mode and updated the original post with it.
Does any one have any splash screens they have done or any that they would like to see?
btw....why you used my old xplore splashes without permission....:S
they are there - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304876&highlight=xplore

nevermind...though.

Recently, I edited the original post hoping to turn it from a question to a discussion, and in doing so I left out where I got the "crossbow" background. I got the BMP from the Core Kitchen 4.0 release, I then created a layered png out of it(only b/c they were the only 24 bit bitmaps I had on hand) for each merlin screen(only using your image as the backdrop). If you want me to remove your background as i stated originally that i planned on doing anyway when i update, i will.
My original post was to ask if we had a repository, and i had said i came up with these by adding merlin to the spash screen images included in the core kitchen. that's why the post said "Like I Said" although what i said isn't there anymore
Although, if the images where included in a kitchen to use freely, why would I need your permission to use them :|
no ouches required.... i re edited the original post to state that the background image came from the core kitchen.. why not link directly to your post with the splash screens here so others can get some use of them from here(although a link to the post is probably sufficient)/ thanks for your input to the "community"....
all right.
Ok I added a new version of the Merlin Splash Screen to my original post. This version uses a bit more color and is a little bigger but still flashes fine and looks good.
nothin i also left the version with your background attached for people who want the gray version, but I noted you in the file name of it. If you want me to remove it alltogether let me know
Here's a pic of the new version
Merlin XP
Im going to make a vista one soon too. Let me know what you think or if you have any cool splash screens feel free to post them.
Has anyone ever made an app to swap the third splash screen each time the device boots? That might be a fun tool to have
FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.

And click here to download the files needed for the Vox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.

The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
Hi all,
Here's a splash screen set I did for myself. The main download is "Welcome Splash.zip". This contains all the necessary files and instructions to install it to your device.
The second download is "Splash.zip". This is for advanced users only and is the Splash.nb file for cooking into a ROM.
10-10-08 - Source Graphics and Font files uploaded.
N.B. I'm not a designer, I didn't do the artwork, just the packaging.
Hope you enjoy!
andrew-in-woking
absolutely beautiful my friend
great work and keep it up
I like the look a lot! Very clean and modern-artsy-looking-kinda-thing.
You wouldn't happen to have the same screen without the Welcome/Loading, would you? I'd like to see about getting the HTC logo where it says Welcome, or something to that effect.
very nice
Really nice Bravo ! Downloading and installing now
Source Files
Hi all,
I'll upload the source files, as requested within the next 24 hours.
Happy splash screen flashing!

nice! This'll be good for manila 2d vista theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2684727&postcount=1022

Animated GIF
Hi all,
I've uploaded the image and font file I used to make the splash screens. If anybody could make an animated GIF with text fading in and/or out that would complete the set. I don't know how to do this.

I'm not sure if I didn't do something right here or not, but I still see the AT&T Globe icon in between your new screen, and the 3G woosh screen still runs. Is this normal? I do see your new welcome screen, but in between is the AT&T globe and then the 3G graphics. That's what i would like to eliminate...
Oh well, I will wait to see what everyone else has...

Hi
The screen you are talking about is the HTC animation screen. This is the software HTC loads into its ROMs which displays "animated.gif" on start up. You should install schaps advanced config 3.3. In this program you have the option of disabling this part of the start up sequence.
Hope that helps

Is it me or is the transition the wrong way round? Shouldn't it go from "Welcome" to "Loading" not the other way round?

3rd screen isn't animated. only the 2nd.
look into the windows folder on device and search for the"welcomehead" .gif or"welcomehead192" .gif those should be the file yourtrying to change.
or well.png (on energy roms).
May I suggest the use of JWMD Icon Changer to change the animated.gif and welcomehead.png bootscreens?
With this app, you can even restore your original bootscreens, and it is very user-friendly.

i have that but don't really know how to use it...o use csmi...
With CSMI, you cannot change the bootscreen, but with JWMD Icon Changer, if you go to Menu -> Bonus Features -> Change Microsoft Bootscreen, you can then choose a .png picture to use instead of the orange windows splash screen .
But make sure to use welcomehead .png pictures that are designed for this. You will find many of them in this forum.
