Custom Boot Panels

[edesignuk]

Just customised mine after reading this how-to that was posted in another thread somewhere.

Mine is a simple change, didn't go OTT with it, but I think it looks cool. So let's see any you've done, or the results of what you do after reading this 😀

(Leave in PDF format, makes it easy for others to use your file if they wanted to 😉)

The current 'tar would make a nice one!

OK, well, this wasn't intended to be another Keira associated thread...but if you're gonna do it guys, at least do a good job of it 😛

I still wanna see what any of you come up with on a serious level, get your thinking caps on!

Download PDF (too big to attach 😱 ) I've tried it, and it actually looks pretty slick 🙂

Nice. See, I didn't want to do the work involved in making a good Keira one, just wanted to goad you into doing it. I see my plan has succeeded. 😀

This guide tells you how to do it. It looks a lot more complex though - I can just imagine myself ringing Apple Tech Support and explaining how I locked myself out of the computer 😀.

It's easy to do the bit I did though, just replacing the Apple logo (attached above) 😉
