Create a Bitmap for the Autorun Splash Screen

These instructions assume that you are starting with 24-bit RGB bitmap files. If your file is not a 24-bit RGB bitmap, you must convert it.

  1. Create a 256-color bitmap image (540-by-357 pixels).
  2. This bitmap should provide an introduction to the product and should contain labels for the two buttons: one for installing Internet Explorer and one for displaying more information.

  3. In your graphics program, create a working file for your palette. To do this, paste both your background and your button file into a single file. Make sure to paste the files side by side, not overlapping.

  4. Save the file as Palette.bmp.
