How to Customize Ur boot skin using stardock bootskin

2) Install it and go to its installed location like :

C:\Program Files\Stardock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\skins

here all the skins r stored

3) Open skin folder having name like ToonBoot1-5
(we will be modifying it cos it has progress bar and file for same)

[BootSkin]

ProgressBar=ToonProgress.bmp
ProgressBarX = 241

Screen=TOONbootPB.bmp

5) Now make a new foder (any name ) and copy this bootskin.ini file in it

6) Copy a wallpaper(must be of BMP format) that u wish to use as ur

bootskin in this folder

7)Cut a BMP file of size 22*9 from the wallpaper that u want as ur progress

bar in adobe or paint and paste in ur folder wih name progressbar.bmp

8 ) Now change the bootskin file content to ur own like this :

[BootSkin]

ProgressBarY = hight at which u want ur progressbar to start
