Before using the &xwp; Shell boot logo feature, please read the introduction in the
&xwp; User Guide, which has important information to be
considered when using boot logos, especially with the "transparent"
style.
If the "Enable boot logo" check box is not checked, &xwp;
will simply skip the boot logo processing. You can also temporarily
disable the boot logo in case of trouble by holding down the "Shift"
key at WPS boot up.
If that checkbox is checked however, you may select an OS/2 1.3 .BMP
file to be used as a boot logo. Pressing the "Browse" button will
open a standard "Open file" dialog, while "Test logo" will
display the logo on the screen for a few seconds to enable you to check
your settings without having to restart the WPS.
&xwp; offers you two different boot logo styles:
- "Transparent style" means that all those pixels of the bitmap will be
made transparent that have the same color as the pixel in the most lower-left
corner of the bitmap. Again, please mind the notes in the
&xwp; User Guide before using your own transparent bitmaps, because
this feature is extremely CPU-intensive. The bitmaps shipped in the
bootlogo
subdirectory of the &xwp; installation directory should
be working though.
- "Blow-up style" is the old boot logo style of XFolder V0.84 and before.
This has been re-introduced because many users asked for it.
