Some of my start up screens

I made some Splash Screens for my TOMTOM from some Designers and Painters I like.

2 Friends - from a wallpaper I have, don't remember the source.

Sky Rocket by Scott Scheidly

Xtrabolds "Bread N Butter" by Nelson Balaban

Enjoy.

24 bits per pixel = 65million colors
I use IrfanView to view my pics, and that is the information it gives me on the .bmp.

Download IrfanView - it's free and its a pretty good image viewer.

Thank you, I will try, I hope it is MAC compatible.


Thanks,

Uh... No, I don't think there is a MAC version of IrfanView... If the .bmp is named splashw.bmp, it's located in the root of the unit, it's 480x272 pixels and no more than 24bit color, it should work without issue.
Not much else I can tell you, I'm afraid.

Cheers Sshadow,

Appreciate the tips.....I will find some software to verify the 24 bit part, the rest I know is good.

One other thing, does this flip 90 degrees right apply to the XL or only to some of the other TT units? When I see the original splashw.BMP. in my root of the TT, the icon for it is not 90 degrees but right side up.

Have you ever used this splash generator? If so, which device option in the drop down box did you use to generate the picture, and did you upload the pic in a JPG format?

Thanks again,

Cheers,

Back on page three of this forum, THIS was posted:

Well for the TT1, the image size needs to be resized to 320x240 but because it was made for a 4" the pic may look a bit funny because you are shrinking it.

You can try using this tool: http://neilstyles.com/generator.php

Note though you may need to use the file formats GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF...I tried uploading a .bmp and the site wasn't working for me.

It doesn't list the TT1, just choose the option GO 300/500/700 series. It also explains how to change your splash screen.

Here's my first attempt at a splash screen for my TT...

Gonna try and put something together for the closing screen also.

Graphic Converter will do what you want...

Two Hyundai Santa Fe Startup

Here are two Santa Fe startup logos I threw together. Nothing fancy, but use them if you wish.

One question I have is how does one download to the forum a start up screen?? I resized the Compass bmp to fit a 4inch screen. I tried to download it in the forum and it is not showing up in the thread. I assume you use the paperclip as with other files.

You need to click the picture icon on the menu

Thanks Birdman!! I never uploaded a bmp file before.

Haven't played around with Photoshop for a few years now.

New to both the forum and Tomtom, but thought I'd have a play at creating a splash.

Please tell me your thoughts.

Here is my first attempt at tweaking my GO920 splash screen.

Route 66 - The Valley

Here's my try for a start and shut-down screen...

Route 66

The Valley

Original image credit goes to Nuah at WallpaperStock. I tried to attach a zip containing two 480 x 272 PSD files and one PSD for the logo, but I'm having some trouble uploading. I'll try to add that later.

 

[Statman]

This is so easy to do...Guess where I live

 

[warlord]

I did a slight tweak to your screens. I thought they were a bit washed and some of the detail was missing. Great screens, BTW.

Here's my 2 cents -
