Description
For Windows 7 x64/x86 SP1 or without SP***********************************************
- Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK! because the tools still alpha at the moment and may contain bugs
- Come with resolution of 16:10 and 16:9 but only in *.bs7 file, there is no *.exe installer since some people encountered error with that installer
- *.bs7 skin needs [THIS] to apply it)
- If you've mod your bootscreen before, please restore your backup file and/or uninstall the previous bootscreen before applying
- well, then! enjoy!
- and
if you like 
***********************************************
In case you get stuck forever in Windows Recovery Environment then you need to manually restore winload.exe. Here are the directions:
-Once you enter Windows Recovery Environment press "Cancel" right away (while it is still scanning)
-Click "Yes" on the warning that pops up
-Click "View advanced options for system recovery and support"
-Select your keyboard types and click "Next>"
-Select an account (not "HomeGroupUser$") and enter any necessary password and click "Ok"
-Click "Command Prompt" (the last option)
-Enter the following commands:
d:
cd \Windows\System32
del winload.exe
ren "winload - Backup.exe" winload.exe
cd \Windows\Boot\PCAT
del bootmgr
ren "bootmgr - Backup" bootmgr
exit

Hi, this is really beautiful!
Can you make this animated please (maybe a soft glow for the windows logo)? Or at least, can we add some custom text to it?
When I load it in "Windows 7 Boot Updater", it only shows up as a Complete Image, and I cannot customize it. Please help.

nise work, bro
but does it also work with 1680x1050 resolution?
if so, what should I use then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1680x1050 is 16:10 so you must try the 1610 one,
but I don't know it will suits well or not since I haven't test it yet on that resolution

thanx, but I already tried both bootskins and the result was the same: I came to the boot manager, choosed windows 7 and my pc reboots (could repair it by system restore)

hmm I've tried it to some machine and most of them works very well, but some of them need more than one attempt to made it works, weird huh?

Why is it not possible to make the background image in ex 1366x768px wide?
It doesn't fit the screen at all after applying it...

how i can use bs7 files..?
any app for that..?
and rely rely nice work man, well done
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, you need win7bootupdater to apply that, the link is on description
but beware, cause the tool is still alpha and I can guarantee its not gonna mess with your system, but mostly it'll work

Interestingly this tool broke my Windows 7 Pro x64 completely. No amount of WRE fiddling would do.
Ah, well...

my too lucky i was able to restore it with my recovery disk
i think its only on 64 bit pc cuz thats what append to mine

what windows do you have?
mostly, oem user got failed because of their 'different' reserved partition, I don't know its just my personal opinion though, otherwise normally installed windows with 100mb reserved partition just works fine so far.
anyway, the tool is still a beta
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, its a clean installation by me with that reserved partition there. I realize the tool is in beta, so not putting any blame on you or anything, but just simply reporting that it didn't work in my case.
Would've looked great if it worked, it's too bad.

hmm, hope the future release would be stable for everyone, but yeah its still alpha and we can't help it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hi, i've downloaded your files, but when i load the bs7, only the blue background loaded and not the centre image. i loaded 16:10 afterward just to make sure but still fail. wonder if you could provide the original image, or make the loading circle more '8'ish..
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Are you typo in your descreption, you say Mac OS X bootscreen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yeah, cause I'm just copy-paste it, deleted
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
so windows logo is not animated right?its a static background image with the loading circle?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, I don't know what animation will suits this background
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think the best thing for boot screen was to have any image u want for background and also the animation..and perhaps an animated logon also, not only static images..like those flashy logons from front motion..unfortunately those were for xp..windows 7 does not support this

well, maybe someone will figure this out someday
