Don't forget the "little guy" that started this whole craze by posting where the addresses were found, and in what files ;-)

Yea, he provided vital information to me.
And thanks to all the testers

I think we can use images up to 100kb. I tried 15kb so far.

Very important is the image format
400x234 pixels
96x96 dpi
bit depth of 8
1 frame
GIF89a file type

I used 72dpi and got a programming error.

Maybe someone tries animated gifs?

That is interesting Tino

Questions

Just to clarify the image has to be :-

400 x 234 pixels?
and 96 x 96 dpi?
8 bits?

As when I use your app to save the original T26.09A gif I get 101 x 101 DPI?

Also Tino is there a minimum or maximum length to the header text string?

Lastly does this work with the official V26?

Finally Tino and all you others that chipped in well done again, I suggest you credit yourselves all over the place with this as I can guarantee somebody wil be on Ebay in no time at all offering personalised v26 upgrade CDs and claiming it is all there own work

What program did you create your Custom GIFs in ?

Photoshop ? Windows Paintbrush ? Etc...etc.....

Ok, I cannot be sure which formats the nav accepts. Maybe also gif87.

I just know that I got an error when I had 72dpi. But there could have been sth else wrong.
I took a fresh navboot, inserted the 96dpi images and the text and it worked.
I use Photoshop with a gif plugin.

The text is restricted to 24 character by my program. But I could only display 23.

Let's see if some people offer that on ebay. And let's what happens when they screw their customer's nav.
I wouldn't do that and I don't intend to. I just provide the software with some advertising

Maybe I can sell the advertising space
