I think it's a bit to small. I forget the exact dimensions but the length is in the 100 pixels, 128 I think.

 

It's 98x60...the 60 height is close to the 64 of the Edge stock bmp's so I think Jim's pic is close...I'll take it to 64 and convert to a bmp and see if I can post it here and Jim can copy it.

 

Jim/VMax,

I got it to 105x64 in .bmp format...I'd like to email it to you via the email address on your website...is this ok? You just put in the Edge\...\splash directory with the other .bmp's and it should upload.

 

The EDGE splash screens are 128 X 64 pixels and 1 bit per pixel monochrome (black and white) color depth. MS paint works with these pretty well. You can change the size using the "stretch" feature and increasing/decreasing the size until you get to 128 X 64.

 

got your email and pic....thanks. i emailed back about how to load it before i looked at this site again tonight.....think i get it....can't wait for the fix for the windows 98se.....i know i will have to update sometime! LOL but not today!!!

 

nevermind pic never loaded to show....

 

 

can someone please send me the bmp file i need to do the vmax above...can't find the email i needed now that my 98se works. i tried loading the bmp file and kept getting black and white only or to big.....thanks.

 

Uhh, there is a difference between black and white, and greyscale, you know.

 

Just right click the picture and save it. Open it up in the "Paint" program and save it as a Monochrome bitmap (bmp.). It is the correct size. I just gave it a try and it works.

 

when i do that it looses alot of the lines for some reason when it saves it as a monachrome bmp file....does not stay as bold.....any other thoughts?

 

Ya, I had that same issue with one that I made. I had to use the paint program to add and clean up some of the lines. I just played with it untill it looked right.

 

I saved it as a monochrome .bmp, and then I had to make it a .gif to post. Therein lies the rub...I have a zip file with all the .bmps I made including the bike. I will email it to anyone who asks me via email.

could you please send them to me or at least the bike one? i tried emailing directly and it would not allow it.....thanks, jim

 

got the vmax bmp to work....didn't save it as monachrome bmp the 1st time and took it to adobe photoshop to make sure it was black and white. thanks.
