Looking for a startup screen for my new Kenwood. I would like to get a startup screen like this but for Pontiac obviously. Anyone have one? If you do, please post at as high a resolution as you can. I can stumble through PhotoShop from there.

Thanks

Bob,

I have some at home that I'll post tonight.

I'll post the few I have done as well:

And here is a simple one as requested:

Attached is the photoshop file in psd format with layers intact. Thanks.

Thanks Morfious. I actually like the darker backgrounds. Thanks for posting and for the PM.

Nice work!

More fun with Photoshop CS5 (still trying to figure out the content aware delete and other features)

BOB give me some more ideas of what you are looking for

Sly Bob · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2010, 07:07:52 AM »

Thanks for the offer but I got my son on it. He did the KP banner at the top of the KP web site. I have a few ideas like instead of saying "Please wait...", saying "Hang on...". I like the double meaning.

Or you could simply say, "Better find the oh shit handle, you're gonna need it!"

Been trying to find a well lit picture of the Pontiac arrow as well. Anyone have one that they would like to share?

Chris finished the startup screen. I didn't want a lot of text as it's only there for a few seconds so he kept it pretty simple. I like it and I hope to load it later today.

Very nice,

make it 1650*1050, or some such resolution and we could use it as a desktop background as well.

Critterman · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:01:21 AM »

Sweet, and you can share it with every Solstice out there, and as Tri said every desktop

Sly Bob · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:32:41 PM »

Here is a 1280x1024 standard aspect ratio wallpaper for those that wish to use it as such.

If you wish to have the .psd file from Photoshop, PM me with your email and I will send it to you. It's about 2.5 meg.

Here's a widescreen version.

You should be able to choose one that fits the aspect ratio that you use on your computer and scale it to fit your screen if you choose to use it as wallpaper.

NICE WORK!

Chris also made a carbon fiber version for my Nav unit.

JET WS6 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2010, 09:34:25 AM »

Sly Bob, that carbon fiber one looks awesome, any chance he might have some free time to spare and make a Sky one too?

Sly Bob · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2010, 12:35:00 PM »

I'll ask him. What resolution?

Triuser · « **Reply #17 on:** May 24, 2010, 07:58:29 AM »

You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to put these out there! Applying them to my desktop straight away!

JET WS6 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 24, 2010, 09:12:00 PM »

one like that 1680x1050 would be awesome, ideally a sky with the redline badge.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #19 on:** May 24, 2010, 10:42:03 PM »

I'll ask but he may want to keep it more generic and just make it a Sky like he did the Solstice without the GXP so more can use it.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #20 on:** May 26, 2010, 07:29:52 PM »

Bob, Can you make one with a blue background and CF

Sly Bob · « **Reply #21 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:24:12 PM »

Dark blue? I'm not really the PhotoShop guy, Chris is, but that I think I can handle.

Any particular file attributes? JPG at 800x480? The Kenwood that I have actually requires BMPs at a very particular setting in PhotoShop.

The Sky wallpaper shouldn't be too long. I'm on afternoons, Chris is on days and he's pretty busy this week.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #22 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:12:44 PM »

Pioneer requires 1000x480 in JPG format. A medium blue and a dark blue so I can see which one looks better. I have Black/Blue CF dash kit.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #23 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:42:31 PM »

Darn, I'm going to have to wait 'til Chris can get to it. I'm certainly not a PhotoShop guy. Got a leaky pipe to fix, I'm your guy but when it comes to PhotoShop? Not so much...

Sly Bob · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2010, 05:01:14 PM »

Joe, I have emailed these to you but for others here, these jpgs are 1000x480. I kindo' like the lighter blue.
