Do you have the default grey Apple logo?

No, the apple is black, but you can easily find the grey Apple over the net.

hi,
i want to change my themes .
and i use the Chameleon PKG-installer install it to my GPT disk.
i type this


then reboot.
and i see no change.

how i can do it?

or change it in photoshop..

excuse me.. the exact steps are to put Default folder as is into /Extra/Themes?

both folder with upper case 1st letter?

Theme Boot_Camp and Default Apple Logo

screenshot?

will the default apple logo look stretched when booting on a widescreen display? if so can you release a squished one, so that on a widescreen display it plumps out correctly?

Default Apple logo for Widescreens!

I have it installed (using the installer someone made) does anyone know where the folder for the themes is???

THANK YOU!!!!!

guessing this is to replace the boot.png

You guys are awesome! Keep it up!

Logo replacements for the MSI Wind U100.

config for 1280x1024 other resolution have to modify theme.plist and background size

Edit2: new font

/Extra/Themes

Yeah, all submissions should have screenshots. How would you grab a screen shot via the bootloader; only way I know of now is to composite something close in Photoshop. Share the technique to capture it and I'll dump the few I've created along with some screencaps.

Thanks!

Here's a theme I made as a tribute to the Chameleon team.
It's optimised for 1680x1050 resolution.

Enjoy


EDIT: I have noticed that the device and boot images weren't squashed, so they stretched when viewed at 1680x1050. So I have uploaded a new zip containing those revised images which should replace the originals . See linked file 'Blackosx_Chameleon_Tribute_Squashed_Logos.zip'

My first Theme: Alien Green

Please excuse the screenshot its just my mobilephone

Images are adjusted for widescreen-displays:

Where I find icons of the Efi-X?
I tried to make, but I did not like resulted it.

So to install this they go in /Extra/Themes on the Boot drive?

Yes

I *really* like the Chameleon_alu_boot theme. Thanks for sharing.

for me it's a pleasure!
But i have made a simple mod of existing theme. modifiy some icons to fit the theme and modify the font
Everaldo for the Crystal Project icon theme used in menu
Intelnode on Deviant Art for the apple display and disks icons on "apple alu"
Overlord59 on crystalxp for the G2 tux
The Chameleon team for the others on "Chameleon alu"
and some that i can forget...

You can modify it as you wish and if someone want to improve feel free to do so.

^^I like blackosx's tribute to chamelon(very original) but also Boot Camp and Apple Grey
but blackosx's tribute have impressed me looking at the "graphics materials" and "stuff position" polished work my respects^^

Thanks InsyD

Well done to you too (and sonotone for starting this thread) and everyone here for uploading their themes. It's only through this process that we'll improve what we are doing.

It's nice to hear that my work is appreciated. Like yourself, I have put a few hours into working out how all the elements fit together and what changes what. I want to try and help this group in anyway I can, and where coding isn't my strong point, graphics are.

I am looking at the 'horizontal' string of the 'devices_layout' key at the moment to see if I can display the devices vertically. If so, it will allow more room on the screen for the menu, help etc..

So let's keep up the good work and see what develops.

I agree with you and thanks to all

Especially Zef and Chameleon team to make this possible (so many looks possible with this interface ; incredible)



I think you can make a great "interface" if this is possible

Just edited some icons and knocked together some existing themes to make this more accurate Apple boot menu theme... enjoy

(Boot logo is for widescreens, obviously you can change it to whatever you want..)

Very nice piece of work! Warn congrats to the Chameleon team and it's great to see a themes thread appear so soon!

I installed Chameleon to the EFI system partition of my hard drive (the installer worked perfectly), then mounted my EFI partition and experimented changing icons and the chameleon logo and changed the blue background with a black one (via the theme.plist).

What I haven't been able to figure out is how to change the screen resolution for my laptop. I changed the value in the theme.plist from 1024 by 768 to 1280 by 800 but no change, the boot menu icons look squished down. I changed the apple boot icon to a non squished one but the spinning cog is of course still squished down.

Modify your com.apple.Boot.plist to have <string>Graphics Mode</string> and <key>1024x768x32@60</key> where that's WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH@REFRESH.

this is real boot camp:


you miss this:


if we want to push details and we also need a way to have text bettween selection square and arrow icon.

Ah, I really didn't look at the real bootscreen before building that theme... I take it that there currently isn't a way to have the text in between the arrow and selection box then?

i think there is as long as there's a big enough gap in between and whatever's there is transparent and not just the same colour as the backgorund. i kept overlapping text and images while i was playing around. images always seem to go on top unless there's transparency.

Just redone the Boot Camp theme (download link in my last post), changed the selection graphic and text to match the real thing, no matter what I do I can't add the arrow underneath the selection graphic without the text going underneath and messing it all up If someone could tell me how to make it work, let me know! the transparency trick didn't seem to cut it..

Well I just wanted a Classic apple logo so here are the 2 files boot.png is 96x96 and logo.png is 128x128 both are transparent

InsyD real boot camp My Theme

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1120667

Excuse me you have updated in V3... and yes it's like the real boot camp! very good job!

could you please upload the theme as zip?

I don`t have stuffit on my hd

Hope you don't mind, alanlcarlos, just tweaked your theme because the generic icon gets screwed, altered them so all drives are the same as in the real Apple boot menu and all centered..

All credit goes to alanlcarlos.. again, Apple boot logo is for widescreens..

is there anyway I can substitute my efix bootloader with any of these themes?

Thanks,
Alec

@nebulOSX: gotta say, at the moment i think you're mod of alan carlos's skin's my favourite. i love default stuff so it's nearly perfect. noticed one little bug though... when you push down on a HD to get the advanced options, the box that surrounds all the options has a bigger curve on the corner than the highlight box. this causes the highlight to overlap and looks a little out. i would attempt to tweak it myself but i'm terrible in photoshop, lol.

also, does anyone know how to remove the countdown bar? i've tried removing the strings relating to it in the theme.plist but to no avail. i wasn't sure whether to go as far as deleting the graphics incase it screws with the bootloader.

thanks,

mass

When it comes to computers and UI setups, I am very "OCDish" .. haha, can't believe I didn't notice that! will work on it now, sir!

i feel your pain brother, lol.

Ok, done... attached in my original alanlcarlos mod post.

Thank you VERY much nebulOSX. I love your boot camp theme, now all what's left is to install windows and linux to use the new boot loader.

Once again, thanks.
Dr. Hurt

Think of it as a thank you for the GMA950 graphics fix!

that's spot on now. thanks for all the hard work. it looks amazing. i'm actually considering getting a new graphic card so i can use this bootloader at native res!

If you mean getting rid of it and just going straight to the boot menu screen, change the time out to zero in com.apple.boot.plist

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>0</string>

i was looking more at having the countdown but without the countdown bar showing if that makes any sense? i like a nice clean and minimal look unless i want to chose some options. think it's that OCD thing you were talking about, lol.

Try this..

Haven't tried this myself, have like 10 Gtalk conversations running! let me know if it works..

that is EXACTLY what i was looking for. it's beautiful, thank you so much.
