Boot DifferentAn Eclectic Theme for Chameleon, made for a
1024 x 600 screen.
I have put together this theme from various sources. Much is taken from several themes on the theme park forum at voodooprojects.org; I did not credit them individually but you will surely recognize and appreciate the original works.
Other stuff came from elsewhere on the web. Because the licenses require attribution to the original authors, here are the sources:

The GIMP files should be helpful. Make sure to include the links and an updated readme file in your upload because of the licenses mentioned above!
To see the Mac boot logo make sure the "Legacy Logo" key is set to "No" in the /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.
To have my progressbar mini hacklet :-))) work as expected set the "Timeout" key to "5" in the same file.
The "logo.png" is so high because it is a convenient way to have your contact information in a line of the bottom of the screen. My address is edited out in this upload. Put your own address there -- I don't want all your lost and misplaced netbooks!
Finally, a HUUUUGE thanks to the people making Chameleon, and to those who set up the guides for creating and resizing themes, or put FontMaker on the web!
EDIT: New download. Fixed a bug (values for screen height and width values were interchanged -- thanks, Blackosx!). Also made the OS selection slightly more prominent.
