***MasterMind*** Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi I'm trying to make an unattended copy of windows XP SP2 ... and i want to make it with OEM info and logo ... my problem is : when i browsed : unattended.msfn.org : iv read :"Create a new image with a pixel size of 180x114 (width x height), customize your logo to how you would want it to look, then save it as oemlogo.bmp. Its a good idea to keep it transparent so it blends into the color of the System Properties window!"http://unattended.msfn.org/advanced/cosmetics/oeminfo.htmMy question is : i know that png and gif only support transparent bakground ... so how to make a bitmap ( bmp ) with transparent pakground to make my oemlogo blend into the color of system properties ?

Scubar Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 to make the oemlogo transparent u can do it one of two ways. the first is to create a 256 color bitmap and use magic pink ( 255,0,255 ), if u choose this way then you need to make sure that the first and last pixels are that colour eg 80x80 bmp 0,0 and 80,80 have to be magic pink.the other way is to create a 32bit bmp. this is alot more tricky todo as u need a program like adobe photoshop or Jasc Paintshop Pro.im sure someone will give you a detailed explanation of the 32bit bitmap process. hope that helps.

cyanide Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 ok i use this small trick...maybe a little stupid, but works for me...heres a how-to:goto system properties by pressing [Windows Key] + [Pause] (same as right-clicking on My Computer and pressing Properties)...now do a Print Screen...go to your image editing Program ( I use Paint.NET )...then simply paste the screenshot...Using the Color Picker, click on the place surrounding the oemlogo.bmp...thats the color your background would be it the pic was transparent...now simply delete the picture and reduce the image/canvas size to the required dimensions and use the paint bucket to fill the small area with the required color...now if you want to write something, use the text tool and do that, or if you have a transparent pic, simply paste it over this...now when you goto System Properties and see the pic, you wont notice the background...heres an example : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
