Software Update: BootSkin 1.0 RC0

StarDock has upgraded BootSkin to version 1.0 RC0. This program can customize the Windows 2000 and Windows XP startup screen in just a few clicks. In this version, among other things, even more boot screens are included as standard. The complete changelog is posted below and shows the following changes:

1.0 RC0

• Fixed issue with installing boot screens on machines missing odcommon.dll
• Fixed a paged memory bluescreen with the driver.
• Now modifies palette after de-initialization to avoid the screen flashing a color that is not black just before the welcome screen appears.
• Added a help menu item link to the BootSkin creation tutorial.
• Windows 2000 should not flash the normal boot screen for a second or two any longer. At least not on single CPU machines. Dual processor machines will likely show it.
• Windows 2000 does not update the progress bar position nearly as much as Windows XP. So the progress bars on 2000 tend not to look like they are doing anything.
