Custom Boot Screen

Another idea:


I’ll look into it when I have time.

Yes, I was thinking the same when I wrote it and chuckled

Not ever played with raw. Presumably it’s a data dump straight into the framebuffer…?

ALL OF THEM!

I tried making my own .raw files and copying them to /img/, but I still got the original boot screen. Time to try reflashing my SD card.

You have to remove this folder with its contents:

/zynthian/config/img

and copy your png to:

/zynthian/zynthian-ui/img

Then reboot …

The problem is that your files will be over overwrite on every update.

Let me try your images … :wink:

OK! I love them. I just replaced the old ones in the master repoitory :wink:
Those wanting to enjoy the new ones, simply remove the:

/zynthian/config/img 

directory.

Enjoy!

Yes! It finally works! @jofemodo Thanks so much for your guidance!
I’ll post a victory soundclip once I’m done backing up my SD card. :wink:

Oh dear! Either my eyesight has dramatically worsened in the past few minutes or the new splash screens are horribly out of focus on my 1024x600 7" screen. Sorry but I don’t like it :frowning: .

Jajaja! Ohhh! I love it, it’s kind of dark … but all my zynthian displays are smaller than yours. Anyway, it’s a matter of taste. I will allow to have a custom set of images, OK? :wink:

Please, open an issue …

Regards,

Hi @ll,

nice work! But I have a problem on the PiTFT-2.8":

It looks like the image is too big for this display… any chance to get it working?

:question:
That’s weird. I did render the image at 320x240. I think something else is wrong…

It’s working for me on the same display. Try deleting old images and update again.

Ahhh, ok - got it! The problem was: I started the fresh image first on my Zynthian v2 (with the 3.5" OzMaker screen). After that I took the SD card and put it into the Disco-Zynthian with the 2.8" PiTFT, so (I think) the generated images were for the 3.5" screen.

I started the script /zynthian/sbin/generate_fb_splash.sh and now it looks better :smiley:

Regards, Holger

hm, but shouldn’t it be possible to change the screen?
I had no issues using images in different zynthians so far.

Yes, it should work … when changing the display from webconf, background images are regenerated.

Regards,

So, should I render the images at a higher resolution? Would that improve the quality of images on bigger screens?

I personally like the glowing Error. But the bending effect of the logo and the zynthian is a bit disturbing to me.
