I have looked and looked for a good Picasso icon that I can put as my startup image (128x128 PNG file). But am having no luck.

This is my last resort as I try not to use the forums for dumb things like this. Anyone have this icon???
 
Ok I found a good JPG that I converted to a PNG and used Imagine BootX to change the gray Apple logo at startup.

In case anyone was curious how I was doing this.

Found this in the BootX forums.

I finally know why Apple compress the Gray Apple on Intel Mac.

This comment come from the Intel version of appleboot.h.

Code:
// The original data was 16K in size (128x128) and would make the booter
// cross a 64K segment boundary. boot0 cannot load more than 127 sectors
// without changes. To eiminate that complexity, the data was run length
// encoded to save space. The reduced size is 1372 bytes.


Now that this image is compressed, this is no longer possible to replace it.

That is a much more complex reason than I would have thought of. Good find on the reason Grif.
