This is another attempt to discover the possibilities of the Chameleon Bootloader.
Thanks to fassl for help with this.
Feel free to change and improve it as you see fit.
EDIT
I use 1680x1050 but when I designed this my setup only allowed Chameleon to see 1280x1024, so my files are squashed to 1280x1024 and the booter stretches them to fit, so I am not sure how it will look at other resolutions.
EDIT 2
I have now attached the original sized background and device icons for 1680x1050 as this theme was originally designed for, without them squashed.
EDIT 3
I have now attached the background and device icons for 1920x1080, so that's for a 16:9 screen ratio.

I dont think i care much for the icons themselves, but the idea is pretty awesome. Great work!
You inspire me to think outside the box. I'm probably going to start another theme today :D

Thanks NoSmokingBandit.
If my ideas inspire others then that's mission accomplished for me.
I look forward to seeing your next creation. :)

Hi james341
Yeah, I guess it'll be too large. What screen resolution are you running at?
Let me know and I'll see if I can resize it. The graphics can be resized no problems, but I won' t be able to test the position of each element. so it still might look wrong. But if you're prepared to edit the theme.plist file, then you can reposition elements yourself?
-
o.k great
i see in my mac-system preferences- display :
1024X576
this is what you need?
-
my lenovo s10e screen size is 10.1″
if it helps

i found this here :http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,102.msg329.html#msg329 (http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,102.msg329.html#msg329)
i noticed that line there - "netbooks boot in 800x600 stretched"
i don't know if this is my resolution

Okay, thanks for the details.
Well let's use this as a starting point. Have you tried that theme? and how does it look on your system?
Also I have attached 2 PNG files for you test with. One is 1024x576 and the other is 800x600.
When viewed you will see a square in the middle of the screen. Let me know which one views correctly when you boot.
-
first of all i want to say that it's great you helping me out
i must say that both of then aren't much my screen i can say that the 800X600 is better it's little bit in the left and little bit in the bottom of the screen
i will search the right resolution in google
-
it's very strange i see here http://www.jr.com/lenovo/pe/LEN_41872NU/ (http://www.jr.com/lenovo/pe/LEN_41872NU/)
that the screen resolution is 10.1" WSVGA (1024 x 576) but the png you sent me is no good
maybe the boot resolution is different
still looking
-
i post a question in the lenovo s10 forum
about screen boot resolution
hope the get quick answer and update you

this is what i got:

Re: need to know s10e boot resolution
by SilverZero » Wed Apr 15, 2009 11:27 am
Did some searching, and I can't find any info about determining a BIOS or boot resolution. My gut tells me it would be the standard VGA resolution, 640x480. The other obvious choice would be the screen's native res, 1024x576. If I were trying to find the answer, I'd look up a guide on how to change the bootsplash logo (the logo that sometimes comes up when the BIOS is starting up, instead of the printout of all the POST info). If you can find out what the image is, you could find the dimensions of it, confirm that it's not stretched or squished when it displays on-screen, and then you'd know. So, if you found the bootsplash for your S10e and it's 640x480 natively and shows up correctly on-screen, your boot res is 640x480.
But that would be strange, since everything boots correctly on the widescreen display. It might be a 640x480 image that is squished to whatever the BIOS resolution is, so it's actually made as a stretched image that squishes to the right proportions. Sheesh! I just don't know! "
i will search what this guy told....

i thinking about something
i see very well the apple logo after Chameleon boot menu
maybe we can check with resolution it is

Wow james341, you've been busy! :)

Can you take a photograph of your boot screen using the 800x600 one and upload it?
-

Dude..that is...boss! I've seen the themes posted by you in the Theme Park, this one is the BEST!!! GREAT JOB!!!
If I had to name one thing I really didnt like, it probably be the clover leaf wallpaper, but Ima edit that to an abstract.
But hey:
I installed Chameleon 2.0, and the thing is I dunno how to install themes :O Can u tell me how pl0x?Thanks!!!!
-
blacksox I love your themes! my netbook is t 1366X768 though. Is it hard to re-size it to that res? Also, I just hackintoshed so I don't know which version of chamelon is being used. Does it matter? thanks...seems like you're the most active theme person

Thanks cumbaya19
Your resolution of 1366x768 (16:9) isn't far off the 1680x1050 (16:10) that I use so you should be able to resize my themes with only a small difference in the height... A couple of my later themes have included a (16:9) version to help with resizing. Have a read of my Resizing Themes (http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,237.0.html) thread for more guidance.
Though this theme, along with all my other early ones, is squashed to 1280x1024. So to put this theme back to intended proportions then the width needs to be increased by 131%.
-
I used your guide and did it myself. Great guide great theme. thanks
-
Love it, got any newer Large logo for Win 7? if not no prob, i could try to make my own...
Good day! ;D
-
Hi ozl
I haven't touched this theme for a long time so there are no new icons etc. but if you do design a new icon or maybe even end up re-designing this theme then please upload it :)
-
Thanks, :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
-
awesome theme!!Perfect job!!
I like it very much :D
Thank you for your theme
-
i like it! i can't download it ! !
-
Login and click the link for the theme in the opening post. I've just tried it and it works here.

Does anyone else have this problem: with r1434 upon booting chameleon says: "Logo.png missing" and return back to text mode.
-
Hi ceckin
I've just seen your post which made me download and look at this theme to see if the logo.png was missing. I see there are quite a few files missing from the package which makes me think why? hmmm.. Maybe back in 2009 when i was creating my earlier themes I just intended the themes files here to be merged with the 'original' Legacy Default theme (http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,1344.0.html). To be honest, I can't remember but you could always try that.
But in it's current state, just using the Blackosx_BIG_theme will not work as you have found out due to missing files.
I'll try to make a new package with a complete set of files in the future for this.
Regards
blackosx

Ok ill test and see if its working properly with the Default theme. Thanks again for your response.
