Tips for Attractive Boot Screens (Windows XP only)
For technical reasons, only 16 colors are available for boot screens under Windows XP, and some of these colors
are fixed (e.g. black). TuneUp Styler therefore has to reduce the full color range (generally 16.7 million colors) of
your composition after you click Finish down to just a very few colors.
TuneUp Styler uses a sophisticated algorithm for this to automatically determine the best 16 colors for your
image. If the image contains too many different colors, the results of this conversion may not be satisfactory.
Experience has shown that the best boot screens are those that use only a few different colors. This means that
an image that consists predominantly of different blue shades and only a few contrasting colors will probably
make an attractive boot screen.
Set the foreground color of the progress bar to a color that is contained in your image. This way, you do not use
one of the precious 16 colors in the progress bar only. Wherever possible, avoid skin tones in your boot screen.
Images with skin tones normally cannot be displayed correctly with only 16 colors (ask any graphic artist). Of
course, you may be lucky. The best thing to do is try!
