I think, an apple looks ok now, but circle is still not a circle.
%$&#%$%#$@! I'm gettin' mad with Chameleon ;-)
Yes, the Apple logo now looks correct, but I agree then spinner is still squashed. I don't think there's anything you can do about that as it's drawn by the kernel and short of trying to get a different resolution on that screen, I am out of ideas for now.

Similarly to what I asked nabeelimran, how have you got your display connected? because if you are using VGA in any shape or form then might get different resolutions by switching to DVI-DVI, or maybe even try a different a secondary output from your video card?

Well that rules that one out then  :P
I really don't know what to suggest next (stratching head).

I changed it for VGA and now I have 2048x1536 as well. So I'll try to resize it to this resolution.

Okay.. See what that does for you.

It's not working. Don't know what to do :/

Update:
The problem was auto wide image when it's connected via DVI. So I changed it to DVI-VGA and now I have a right resolution but with 2 black resctangles on sides. I'm gonna leave it like that.

In that case yes 1280x1024 32bit is best, unless you can find a widescreen resolution to use as I think you have said you original wanted 1920x1200.

Out of interest, how have you got your display connected? because if you are using VGA in any shape or form then might get different resolutions by switching to DVI-DVI, or maybe even try a different a secondary output from your video card?

You might be able to enter one of the other resolutions which appear under 8 and 16bit in the theme.plist but I don't know if Chameleon will use them as I have never tried..

I have SL and W7 dual-booting on my xps m1710 so no external display. I will try the 8 and 16 bit thing and let you know how it goes.
Thank you.

I tried this, and the device icons, text, and box around them where all moved.
Any chance of posting a picture of what it looks like?
Here it is. This is with it set at 20%. All of the info gets moved up the page.

I see now.. Strange?  After our discussion the other week I have since installed this theme and it works very well for me with no issues, though I didn't resize it. Which makes me think it must be a resizing issue.

Can you try it without resizing it? I know the device icons will appear large but you're only using three volumes so might still fit on your screen...

I can try. At least I'll still have the countdown timer to boot in OSX if something goes wrong!

Hi,
I like the clean feel to this theme but wanted the boot.png to show that OSX runs on my Acer Aspire 5630 laptop. So here's the Acer boot.png I put together.
Its 181 x 219 and should look ok on netbooks, my laptop screen is running at 1280 x 800.

Cheers, Freemag.

I like this theme, it's my favorite - nice and simple. Only thing i dislike are HDD icons, so i've created my own.

Each icon is OS specific with official wallpaper applied over.

Here is my boot menu screenie:


All available icons:


All icons are available in PNG and ready to go.
Also i'm giving PSD file so you can create additional icons if you want.
