Title: Startup Screens
Post by: VivianC on June 09, 2003, 01:46:33 am
I guess this doesn\'t really fit under backgrounds, so I started a new thread. I just made a new startup screen for my Z and thought I would share it with you all...

Let me know what you think. One cool note: The \'One Moment, Please...\" font was created by Divide By Zero and is made from a sample of Douglas Adams\' handwriting. It is available here http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html...ml?font_id=1207 (http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=1207).

Remember, the startup screen must be a 24-bit BMP file. It also needs to be 320x240 (this is 240x320 for display). I don\'t really know why it needs to be sideways in the Z, but it does.  You can replace your Startup_screen.bmp file in /home/QtPalmtop/pics/.

Thanks to Tumnus on the developer board for reporting this info.

I really like your start up screen!

We\'re working on getting a gallery/review section added to the ZUG site so people can upload screenshots, etc and others can review them and make comments.  Do you think this is something that you would like?

Sure, as long as Simon from American Idol doesn\'t get to rate them. I thought maybe, if this startup screen thing gets popular, you could add an upload section specifically for those. I think it could be confusing in the backgrounds section.
