I grabbed a pic from DigitalBlasphemy.com, cropped it, and added the text. I think it came out really nice.
Z6000 is a portrait-mode device, so all pics are 480x640 24 bit BMPs. I copied the picture to /home/QtPalmtop/pics/Startup_screen.bmp (deleting the symlink there) and re-symlinked the /home/QtPalmtop/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp to it. I'm not sure why there's a /pics and a /pics144 directory. They both look to contain the same stuff. I hate redundancy.. Just a note, this picture IS copyright digitalblasphemy.com. Please visit the site and subscribe if you want full access to the stuff there. I'm not a subscriber nor am I affiliated with the site, but I love the pics there. I guess he'll forgive me for cutting off the URL on the pic for this plug  Anyway, here it is;

Here's a pic I took in the Everglades. I really took it so I have the copyright ;-) and I say "feel free to use it on your Zaurus" !

Gondola:
I like the pic. I followed your instructions on my SL-5500, however upon reboot (startup), the pic seems to have turned itself into landscape and tiled itself with a lot of lines through it...completely unreadable. Is it the 5500 vs. 6000, or did I miss something? Thanks. QUOTE(guylhem @ Apr 6 2005, 04:05 PM) Here's a pic I took in the Everglades.

You'd probably have to resize it to get it to fit on your screen if that's the case. I don't recall the screen specs of the 5500 offhand. |

There's a short howto on startup screens with the 5x00, aparently they have to be rotated to show up the right way on the screen. Link: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Change_StartUp_Screen
Edit: The 5500 screen is 240 x something, I believe 240x320. |

Thanks for the link. I'll see if I can make the adjustment and make it work. I appreciate the help.
