Description A few days ago ~The-R-Project suggested me to create a metro style bootscreen. It seems that he could read my mind, because I have already been inspired by a preview of a cool icon pack named Windows Phone 7 Icons by =yankoa ...

...So, here you are: Another simple, but elegant bootscreen for XP! Although I am well aware that this Metroboot most probably won't become as popular as my Microboot I hope you'll like and maybe even it!
Looking forward to read your comments!

Download and unpack the RAR file and you'll find...

a preview image,

a folder named "aspect ratio 4-3" including a *.TBS, optimized for "4:3" monitors (e. g. 1024x768, 1920x1440,...),

and a folder named "aspect ratio 16-10" including a *.TBS, optimized for "16:10" widescreen monitors (e. g. 1920x1200).

It's made for Windows XP. To apply it, you need TuneUp Styler 2. This is a feature of the TuneUp Utilities program suite

For those of you using Stardock's Bootskin XP, I added a...

Windows Metroboot.bootskin to the "aspect ratio 4-3" folder.

It's made for Windows XP. You need Stardock's BootSkin XP installed to apply it - it's freeware!


Credits...
Thank you, =yankoa , for sharing your icon pack. I have used the png images as resource files for the background image.

Really nice, but, can it be done without the background and the charging bar and only the windows metro sign would remain.

yano - "hey friend !! - i've been preparing a "metro segment" for a write review for creativx.net for a few months now and requesting your permission to include some of your works in the review - it won't be for a few day's as i'll be waiting for everyones "permission requests" to come in - will be an awesome review and your invited to come visit to view and read - the main idea is to showcase brilliant works by contemporary designers and help educate members worldwide about metro - ill also have prepared the same for "windows 8" - so, would very much appreciate your permission and designers will get full credit for their goods - looking forward to all prospective permissions - many thank's friend !!"

sincerely, max
