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).

   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.

2. 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.
3. Save the file as Palette.bmp.

Note

• The dimensions of the bitmap are important, because the dialog box will resize to the bitmap dimensions. If the bitmap isn't wide enough, then text in the dialog box may appear clipped.
