If you guys are about to change your boot up screen or make backgrounds for the Z1, I just found this link:

Pages and pages of good looking logos

Personally I want to change my boot up screen to this:

Ducatiboy you said that we can change the boot up screen. How we do that :?: I allready did the backgrounds but can't change the PIONEER boot logo.
Thanks

Yah, it's not for the faint hearted. But it does work.

how about a merge for a honda emblem as i have this in a 03 civic hybrid:

yeah, I can't get this to work either and I have followed the instruction provided in the manual to the letter... No go...

Also, on a scale of one to ten, how dicey is actually changing the boot up screen? How many of you all have done it successfully? Thanks, I am very confident in my competence with wires, HDs, etc. but taking a chance on something that was more expensive than my more than capable laptop, and by far less fix-able worries me...

This is a relative thing. For my mom? A 10 (very difficult)... maybe even a 20 (on a scale of 1 - 10). For someone who can build a PC from scratch and assemble it and knows how to manage some tools for formatting hard drives and so on, probably a 5.

I did 2 of them. Pretty easy on the second one.

Yes, when you pull out the "life blood" of your $2K system it's prety nerve racking, but it's not as bad as it sounds. Just follow the directions and it works. You just don't want to accidentally type "format d:" in a command prompt when you are doing it. :)
