Recently we shared Windows 7 Login screen and Shellstyle for Windows XP:

Now its turn of "Boot Screen". Windows 7 contains a new boot screen which shows "Starting Windows..." text along with a glassy progressbar in the middle.
I have tried to create a similar boot screen "VistaVG Boot Screen" for Windows XP.
It looks similar to Windows 7 boot screen. You can download it from following link:
Download Windows 7 Boot Screen for Windows XP
Extract the ZIP file and you'll get following 2 files:
- NToskrnl.exe
- VistaVG Seven Boot Screen.tbs
You can use any of the 2 files to enjoy the new boot screen.
If you want to use "NToskrnl.exe" file, then you'll need to replace existing "NToskrnl.exe" file present in "%windir%\System32" folder with this new one. You can use "Replacer" to replace the files which you can find in our "Downloads" section.
Or if you want to use the second file "VistaVG Seven Boot Screen.tbs", then you'll need Tuneup Utilities to apply it which is very safe.
UPDATE: Windows Vista users can also enjoy the new Windows 7 boot screen. Visit this link.

Hi Vishal
Since I added your VistaVG theme into my Custom XP, I never used any other theme.
I want to change only the background image to fit better with my Custom: Panther XP.
So I'm interesting about links with tutorials about how can I create my own theme. I would like that from a first hand (Vishal), but I guess you are very busy too.
I think you'll help me.
Thanks

windows 7 boot screen for xp is very nice and method using ntoskrnl works very well ... but one major problem .... it is made with kernel v5512 ... but microsoft update KB956841 spots it and overwrites it with latest kernel v5657 ... putting system back to standard bootscreen.
perhaps you could update your download link with revised ntoskrnl.
many thanks ... great looking boot screen
VG
^^ Can you please upload your new updated ntoskrnl.exe file somewhere and provide the link to download here? Then I'll be able to update it with Windows 7 look.
