HTC Diamond Splash Screen

[SeanSaunders]

Hi,

Is it possible that where on a Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1 device it comes up with Windows Mobile for 6.x in the screen colour background, that a file could be made to reflect the Diamond skin that i have now got on my Kaiser?

I am using L26's V9 WM6.1 inc Radio.

If this isnt possible please call me a retard for asking lol. I am not in any way shape or form a pro at this kind of thing, but i can hold my own. a cab would be preferable or RUU, or a set of instructions.

I did try searching on the forums but to no avail.

Thanks. Your all doing a great thing for the WinMo Community.

Ahhh bugger, sorry about that, i am trying out different roms at the min and i was using yours last night, i am working out which one is best, and as things stand, if i could get the looks of his rom, into the functionality of yours, id be set!!

Ill edit my post as necessary. Any idea though?

Which splash screen are you wanting to change? If you are talking about the 3rd one (the default green Welcome to Windows 6.1 or somesuch) then thats an easy change. You just have to create a 320x240 image (actually you should do 320x320 for when you startup in Landscape mode if you really want to do it right) and then save it to your phone with the name: welcomehead.96.png into your \Windows folder. Thats it. Now on the next boot, the 3rd splash will be whatever image you created.

If you are wanting to change the first splash (on Leo's V9 its his avatar pic) then you'll need to read up on cooking a splash screen .nbh file. The second (animated one) splash is like the welcomehead one, but is controlled by registry entries to point to the filename.

BTW: Good idea on this. I may look at whipping up a Diamond style welcomehead image...

Indeed i am after a welcomehead image. Ill have a bash at it but if you come up with something in the meantime i am more than happy to use yours. I agree its a great idea, everything is black on my phone now after many hours customising it.... and to have a green Windows Mobile welcomehead is a damn bit annoying.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate the help yourself and everyone gives me here at XDA Developers.

EDIT: I have just searched my pc for welcomehead and variants of that filename and i cant find anything, would it be called something different for 6.1?

[SeanSaunders]

Ok.... after my blonde moment i have found the file. I too will also look at making one now.....also. :)

I have made a Splash screen for L26's Diamond V9 ROM, it is as follows.

To make the file work though i had to use total commander to set the file attributes to system, read only, archive and hidden, which is the same as the original file.

I hope those of you who use the rom will be impressed with this, it didnt take me long to do, so if its shabby im sorry.

I'll make a generic one if needed?

Cheers
