Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
I just tried to change Pedigree's splash screen to have a Xenon logo and a cleaner loading bar (nothing official, just in my local copy of Pedigree), and here's what I got:
Cool! Could you make it fade to black on the left and right? Something like --=====--? That would look less plain but still pretty simplistic which is a good look.

The picture shows off the extensibility of our "splash screen" - there's a lot you can do. When we implement a proper framebuffer class which provides optimised blits and shape drawing it'll be able to do even more. Perhaps even alpha blend
Just to clarify - "Xenon" is not some codename, and we're not renaming the project any time soon - it just looks cool!

Ahem, it was me . The logo was made by a friend of mine, who is a web designer .
Ahhhh, I see.. anyway, good job . Is it implemented in the bootloader? - If so, how did you add image support?
It has nothing to do with the bootloader(which is grub, btw)... It's simply a kernel module, showing the progress of module loading. If my "image support" you mean video mode, we have a VBE driver .

Alrighty then . In that case: Nice VBE driver. I once tried to make one, but it could never do such image like things, so that's why I thought it was an image .

Technical background: the actual mode switch is performed using x86emu and your standard int 10h calls - everything else is just generic framebuffer operations.
