Sorry datapath but I think I'm about to steal your pictures

Any explanation on how to do this would fit in this thread.

Default on N800

Banner: Nokia
qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png
Resolution: 416 x 72 pixels

Startup: The two hands
qgn_indi_nokia_hands.png
Resolution: 800 x 480 pixels

Trying to make a nice looking startup? Well, enjoy. :P Linux - Maemo Rulez!

Well, as for resolution, 800x480 for the entire pic. You can just use an Illustrator program or something when combining the other pictures and make them however small or large you want.

I am assuming you can just use GPE file manager and locate the images of the startup screen and just replace them with your own? Where are those files located?

I just finished posting the resolutions.

As far as using GPE, I'm no sure. I used the guides of http://geekpenguin.blogspot.com/2007...ash-on-it.html for my N800. It will be cool just to use GPE to change it. :P

HOW TO GUIDE:

I've done this on the 770 and the N810, so I have no reason to think it would be different on the N800.

Open xTerm, become root, and navigate to the following folder:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

The file names are:
qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png (800x480)
qgn_indi_nokia_hands.jpg (800x480)
qgn_indi_progressbar.png (24x16)

Backup the originals (I just added "_backup" to the end of the filenames), then copy your new images over the originals and reboot.

If you want to change the progress bar, it may help to know this:
The image is 24 pixels wide. It will display the first 8 pixels, then the middle 8 pixels over and over (98 times total), then the last 8 pixels. It took me several tries to get this right, so I'll save you the effort of trial and error.

Hope this helps all who want to try this.
