Thanks Big C' I guess the better question would be is there a was to do it like the boot screen is done and if not could you elaborate a little on how to do this.

Not much to elaborate on.. The file C mentions is a graphic file (.png) simply replace it with whatever you want to be displayed.

uh... .wow....

make a file that is 240x320 (landscape)
or 320x320 so you dont get bars on the sides in portrait.

make it a PNG file (use photoshop or something).

put it on your PPC ... doesnt matter where.

get a FILE explorer that will allow you to OVERWRITE files in the ROM (resco and ce commander will do this)

copy the PNG file into the windows directory, when it asks to overwrite... say yes.

soft reset the device.

and use google, it was the 2nd 3rd and 5th result with step by step instructions.

good luck
