Is there some way to get or make the boot screen look better?

Hi and welcome here  

I don't think it is possible to improve the boot screen image quality.  Every theme I have tried still has that pixillation about it, even the latest Vista Beta still looks like that

Not possible on Windows XP. The bootscreen has a restricted definition format : size to 640x480 pixels and only 16 colors.

The bootskin appears before your VGA card is recognised by the system (ir before your VGA performance boots) So there isn't a way of getting a better look for a bootscreen

You can try Boot Skin but it also uses 16 color bitmaps

I made my own Book Screen with a Visualization and it was pretty cool though... I know what you mean about the size... Its annoying...

lholmes, will it be usefull to share the way you did your bootskin here?

hey friend you can try on "ww.themexp.com" but you must register first to download bottscreens or other themes and you have to some software like stylexp or bottrandomizer or something like these because without these type of software changing your bootscreen is dangerous. bye enjoy xptheme.com

hey friend it is "www.xpthemes.com" sorry for above mistake bye

Welcome to CrystakXP kaykay

As I recall, xpthemes mainly has skins for 'Bootskin'

Why does it matter? It only shows up for a short period of time.

People like to change everything regarding their computer Awedacity.

Yeah, I guess so.
