Deevd Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 should use GIMP on Linux... i tried GIMP on Windows but that doesn't work. So you make a 640 by 480 image, put on it whatever you want, than you've got to change your image -> Mode There you choose Indexed, leave everything as it is, just change the number 255 to 14. Press Ok. Than you save the file as a .XPM ( should see it somewhere down the file-type list ) once it is saved as .XPM you have to gzip it . You'll get something like [yourimage].xpm.gz Include that in the root of your USB and then add in menu.lst splashimage=/[yourimage].xpm.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1g1ta1 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Just a FYI you can edit the image in Gimp for Windows you just have to grab the win32 port of imagemagick http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ (ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16-windows.zip) and convert the saved processed BMP convert imagename.bmp imagename.xpm.gz Easy peesy lemony squeezy..
