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

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

For any one that wants it, I've made a RAR archive in 5 parts of an ISO which has the BMW logo (with roundal) and version set to "4-1/60.09A" available here :

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard...V26.09A%20Mod/

each part is 4.8 MB. Available now.

With the issues people are reporting with V26.09, I think the smarter move would be to hack the logo of v26.

therefore people could load v26.09 change to perspective mode, then upgrade to V26 with the hacked logo.

To make a small MKIV only file you would only need to make an image of the following files

Files in Root
abstract
bibliorgraphy
Copyrightnotice
V_2 directory - containing RR and Voices sub directory

In the RR sub directory you will only need the contents of the 0101 folder

Guys - well done - this is a fantastic stuff.

Tdaniely do you think we can now modify using some parts of the Range Rover software I sent you? i.e. start up logo, color scheme, off -road guidance?

Quite happy to up load to any one else who may be interested!

:
I have just realised why mine is at 101dpi that is because I have my graphics display setting set to that

I guess yours is set to windows default of 96dpi so that is why your gif saves at that resolution

Obvious next question what is the real DPI of the original image in the Nav Boot file?
