Presenting the Bootskin Editor...

from WinCustomize Forums
I finaly compiled A working version of "Bootskin Editor" a tool who anyone can use tocreate bootskins the easy way.
Some features include:

You can graphicaly position the progress bar.
Save as Bootskin Editor document.
Export your created bootskin to Stardock Bootskin.
Edit the ini Code manually.

but thats not all
You can Also preview the Bootskin in Full screen 16 color 640x480 mode.

This feature is very powerfull and is not avaliable in any onther editor.

It will be avaliable to download freely When i find a way to upload it

I cant seem to upload any thing greater than 800 kb . I dont know why but its a restriction.

UltraEdit and setup your own macros which have fields you are prompted to enter non-static info, which you use with a hotkey to activate.

When I make a new file and save it. When I click EXPORT, it exports out the image files and ini. My boot skin that I created doesn't show up in the list. So I try to do it through Import From File.. The problem is that Stardock's BootSkin only takes .bootskin files.
I'm new to this, any help will be appreciated.

okay, i got it to load right? the preview screen works fine. the whole thing is black and white so there is nothing to create any problems. when i actually restart my computer, it's just outlines. and the outlines don't look good. is there any way to fix it?
