i think its nice, but what is that other bar at the bottom for? the percentage is covered up so it would be better, to me, without it.

but good work.

Cool, looks great! but change the "ReactOS INC" to "ReactOS.org" because i dunno if "ReactOS INC" exists. scroll to the bottom of the page; see the trademark stuff? another possibiltiy could be "ReactOS Foundation" im guessing.

Yes, I do think others wanted grey like this. I wonder if white letters would look good (at the very least the "Intitalizing ReactOS" should stand out)...

Tell me what else I can put into the boot screen design... The progress bar looks kind of ugly,What would you say to a red PB ?

NO on the red progress bar. But try white letters for "Intitalizing ReactOS" I think the most important communication for a boot screen is the progress and exactly what is progressing... red might scare new users :lol:

i was looking around and realized gimmi123 based the boot off a suggested img for a bootscreen, so ill post my "gimmi123/XP inspired" bootscreen asap (i just put the image in myspace since i have nowhere else to upload. but myspace is busy right now apparently)
