Thanks, I'm not worried about the shading of grey, I'll just be using text. I was just worried about formats of the 256 vs 8bit, etc. I'll give it a try.
Go to sleep so you can do more magic tomorrow....... AJ |

Coming up with my own new screens can be my new project until I get my PP back. Both ekaser and the OP came up with some great ones.

Get the logomaker from its in ukranian but its easy enough to use
just select the reader you want v3 or v8 and then select the two pics you want one for starting logo another for closing logo by pressing the folder icon then press the black white logo beside that fixes the image for eink it will save it for you. Its only for v3 and v8 but it has a devices.ini file with it you can play around with it so it produces something with the correct size for your reader http://www.lbook.ua/downloads/createlogo.rar |

I sent you some KARMA but my fingers flubbed so my message wasn't finished. Bye the bye, my first try, my picture worked fine, but my text didn't show, I guess the greyscale was wrong for my text. So I put the text on a picture and it's great. AJ I STARTED A THREAD THAT WE CAN SHOW OFF OUR IMAGES. PLEASE, EVERYONE, POST YOUR IMAGES THERE. Last edited by AJ Starr; 10-09-2009 at 03:04 PM. |

Okay, okay, so I couldn't resist playing when I should be working (besides waking up at 5am...)
I've posted an update to V5LOGOS on my website at:This version (NUTS! Next time I get some time, I'll have to put a revision code in the program!) will handle 256-color and 24-bit color bitmaps as input and generate proper grayscale output files. Now, REALLY, it's WORK time... |

I love the idea of customizing the start-up and shut down screen of my PEZ, but I'm not very good with command-line programs. If it's not too much to ask, dear Ekaser, when you have the time, could you create a windows application for those like me (technically challenged people)? It would be a wonderful program and it would make my reading experience a lot more pleasant.
for all your work! Great pictures, everyone, I saw some incredible screens in the "show us your customized screens" thread. |

But don't let "command line" keep you from playing with this, it's really not that hard. Let's imagine that you download and unZIP V5LOGOS into the C:\books\tools\v5logos folder, and that you have a couple of bitmap images (.BMP files) in the C:\books\PEZ folder called "PEZ startup.BMP" and "PEZ shutdown.BMP" (just examples, and the quotes are just because there's a space in the file name). Then, you would: 1) Open a command-line window via the Start-Programs-Accessories-CommandLine menu. 2) Type (and press the ENTER key after each command): cd \books\tools\v5logos (There's a SPACE character after 'cd', 'v5logos' and between the two quoted file names after 'v5logos'.)v5logos "\books\PEZ\PEZ startup.BMP" "\books\PEZ\PEZ shutdown.BMP" exit This will use the specified startup and shutdown .BMP files to create the logo.bin and logo.md5 files in the c:\books\tools\v5logos folder. The 'cd' command is "Change Directory", which puts the command-line windows "current working directory" where the v5logos program is. The second line is the execution of the v5logos program itself, and the two quoted strings (in case of spaces in the file names) are how you tell the v5logos program which two bitmaps to use (it automatically outputs to the 'logo.bin' and 'logo.md5' file names). The 'exit' command closes the command-line window. Once you've done the above, then you can use your standard methods (File Explorer) to create the "\jinke\logo" folders on your SD card and copy the 'logo.bin' and 'logo.md5' files from c:\books\tools\v5logos (or wherever you chose to unZIP the program to) to that folder on the SD card. The rest of the instructions are in the README.TXT file that's included in the V5LOGOS.ZIP file (ie, you'll find it in the c:\books\tools\v5logos, or wherever, folder after you've unZIP'd the download). It may sound scary, but it's really not that hard. Just print out this message and a copy of the README.TXT file from v5logos, and you shouldn't have ANY trouble following along the steps and achieving your own custom graphics (the graphics .BMP files are up to YOU to create/acquire, though ) for your Pocket Pro TODAY!
