Custom Splash Screens

[angelize]

I like to customize my Designer Pro splash screen because it's easy to do and kind of fun to see my images on there. Now I know not everyone would bother to do this and might rather keep the default screen but I thought it would be nice to have this thread where we all could just share our custom screens. I've seen some very nice ones in the other thread I'm even including a template for creating your own splash screen. The grey rectangle is your design space and the white strip is for the pantone info (which I have included as a bitmap) and other info that the program shows.

For any new users that may not know how to change the splash screen here are the steps

1. save your custom screen as a Windows Bitmap (BMP) and call it splashscreen
2. go to the Xara program files folder (program files(x86) for the 32bit) and open the bitmaps folder
3. what I like to do is move the existing splash somewhere else so I have it if I want to return to it for any reason. copy and paste your new custom splash screen to the bitmaps folder and that's it.

So Now here is one I have created for myself. I invite one and all to join in and have some fun!

NOTE: The image needs to be saved as a Windows Bitmap and NOT a jpeg as I earlier stated. My apologies for any confusion or inconvenience.
