XP Boot Screen + Vista 7 Flag

Description

Get XP "Ultimate" Boot + Hibernate Screens with new Vista/Windows 7 flag style (that replaces the old "boring" XP flag) for Windows XP (all editions: Pro, Home, MCE, Tablet PC, Embedded, N, Starter, also especially with SP3)...seems you may be able to also change bootscreen in Windows Server 2003 basically using the same way...

(The preview image here also has 16 colors format just like the original bitmap resources and display. It's 16 colors, so the preview may look rather blurry here...)

Personally i'd like to use this with my most favourite theme for XP "VistaXP" by Kol [link] preview: [link] looks so matching for me...

About hibernate screen (same style): [link]

NOTE: If you have already visited my another deviation "Hibernate Screen on XP" [link] and already downloaded the file from there before, then you don't need to download this file again, as they are different topics with same uploaded file.

==========================================

Yeah i know that it may look too simple as an original work and/or not "originally made by any 3rd party/artist" yeah lol, but actually it's the main point! Yeah with simplicity in style, some people will think i.e. it's maybe another original version of XP bootscreen which is updated by Microsoft the author not any artist like us especially for XP "SP4" hehe, and personally i really like and prefer it as my custom bootscreen in XP with new Vista/7 flag style (as the newest/latest Microsoft Windows logo by Microsoft itself for all Windows-related features and applications nowadays), the Windows XP bootscreen really looks already updated rather than before (btw as you know originally Vista only has blank boot screen as the standard, while in Windows 7 it's been animated). You can have the same Vista/7 flag in XP hibernate screen as well as the bootscreen for similarity.

Actually it has the same (files) with "Hibernate Screen on XP" (with Vista 7 Flag) [link] in the uploaded package (hibernating and boot screens while both have the same style with Vista/7 flag that replaces old XP one) but later as it's actually a different topic right (?) then i decided to still release/publish it again as a separate deviation (so finally by submitting it then i have already had five submitted deviations so far here successfully, no no it's not the reason sorry just a joke lol) just for the reason because of the limitation for title on Deviantart (couldn't write more) as it should be e.g. "Boot and Hibernate Screens with Vista 7 Flag", and publishing it for the different purposes like i.e. as one for boot screen, while another is mainly for/about hibernate screen, or both, and again as said above both of them have the same style with Vista/7 flag that replaces old XP one.

To change both or either boot and hibernate screen you can just do by yourself either replacing the original ntoskrnl.exe (renamed TUKernel.exe in the package) with the hacked one using Replacer [link] only if the files have the same version though, hacking the bitmap resources in the ntoskrnl.exe (any version) using Resouce Hacker, (please do both very carefully since ntoskrnl.exe is a critical system kernel file [link] ) or just using 3rd party apps such as TuneUp Utilities [link] (i use it, the file .tbs for changing the boot screen is included too) and Stardock BootSkin [link] etc. Using well known 3rd party applications like them to change the bootscreen is more recommended because it's the safest way especially for common users. But you must do the hacking and replacing ways above to change the XP hibernate screen (it only has different number of bitmap resources). Please also read the readme simple guide (included) for more info etc or google to visit any informative tutorial for changing XP bootscreen e.g. here [link]

Hope that i'm the first author for creating bootscreen in this style since i have not found any released bootscreen like it on internet by far, if not please let me know thanks. Finally hope you like it, thanks for your visit and attention, long live XP and cya!

My another related deviation: "Hibernate Screen on XP": [link]

==========================================

Just Added Here: Btw if you also want to change XP BootScreen, Hibernate Screen, and also Logon Screen with my creation "Vista-XP" or "XP Ultimate" style above completely: [link]

Btw why it's called/named to "VistaXP" hibernate and bootscreens? Yeah personally i'd love to use it with some Vista/7 style VS/theme on XP e.g. my most favorite VistaXP by Kol, so look matching for me [link] , so i just called it "VistaXP" hibernate screen too to honour him and his work if not mind thanks i don't know another better name hehe sorry, it's also because the new XP hibernate and boot screens have new Vista/7 flag inside it, anyway you can call and rename it whatever lol, it's just a Vista like style. Again just to share it here for free, sorry for my bad English, please enjoy and cheers, and always say long live XP!... :)
