Ok, Now It's time to have Some New Series of Bootscreens :- I was very much bored with the Bootscreens available for Download for Xpsp3 and also with the Quality of Bootscreens (for Coloured one) in real system boot. As you all know Xp has it's limitation of 16 colours for Bootscrren. So i thought to make a new range of Bootscreens (by choosing best possible 16 colours) so it can have the same Quality (almost 95-98%) which you will see in Preview (Screenshots). I hope You will all like it, Will try to make some more if get time and hoping you will also contribute here with your Favourite ones. Note:- If anybody wants some changes Like in Starting text, Progress bar posit…
