To add a proper progress bar:
Add these lines to the bottom of the .cfg file (this one is lined up for the 1024x768 resolution, but you can adjust from this for the other resolutions):
box silent inter 24 421 24 425 #0xCCCCCC 0xCCCCCC #383849 #2e2e3d
box silent 24 421 421 425 #0xCCCCCC 0xCCCCCC #383849 #2e2e3d
By the way, this is the nicest fbsplash I've seen for gentoo. I made a gdm theme and wallpaper from it.
I don't see the text "Booting the System (XX%) - anyone else having this problem?
Suggestion: The dots under the text could appear like a brogres bar!?!
Besides that, very nice splash! :)
I too seem to be missing the text (although verbose works fine). Perhaps you could post the contents of your menu.lst?
Also, I'd really appreciate one at 1440x900 if you wouldn't mind, although I'll give it a go myself if you don't have the time.
Thanks a lot!. I was looking for a nice fbsplash theme, and whilst gentoo-gray looks great its download is not avaliable, so thanks for this theme, I'll try it!.
I have selected the free button, but I am behind a NAT sharing the IP with many others so the free download limit is always depleted. Thanx for moving to other host. I like this bootsplash very much.

Hi, is it possible to make a 1920x1200 Widescreen version? It would look great on my laptop :)
Widescreen version and KDM login manager version possible?

Very nice splash! Ever thought about a 1280x800 version? Would be so great :)
very nice, great work!
I made consistent KDM theme here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=46540 and Ksplash here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=46508 based on this the best bootsplash on kdee-look.
What font You use below gentoo logo??
Font is called: Space Age
Don't you want to make a theme for Grub similar to that bootsplash? I'd be very happy :-)
you will be able to download all the stuff and more new stuff on my new homepage.. stay tuned
...and one question: may you provide the (gimp?) sources of it, so that it can be modified for other distros?

what resolution do you use ? haven't tested 1400x1050 and higher
my screen resolution is 1280x1024.

It seems that recompiling with the make flag 'truetype' solves it.

How about rapidshare? I know its not that comfortable but it has no traffic limit.
Please don't use Rapidshare. I am unable to download anything from that site and I don't want to pay 10€ for a premium account to get one splash.
then select the free button :) otherwise give me your mail btw. I ordered a new web-host
