MacOS startup 3D! is made and rendered by Onar Vikingstad!
What did I do, making it like that:
I´ve used the very professional application Photoshop (3.0) and used the great filters Clouds, combined with Lightning Effects, to make the pictures look 3D and stoned!
Why have I made it:
I´ve taken the startingpoint from the original "boring" MacOS logo!
And istead of that build-in startup-picture, I´ve made a more nice looking and more professional picture, without have to use it as a StartUpScreen (if you know what i mean(?))
Who can I use it, and how:
This patch is will only work with System 7.5.1! 256 grays are the minimum, but it looks much better with thousand-color! You must also have 800 kb free diskspace, since these pictures is a little bigger than the standard-pictures!
So if you have all these requirements, you can use the "MacOS startup 3D! patch"
And I´ve made it very easy: Simply open the file "MacOS startup 3D! patch", and locate the file (System Updater), in your systemfolder, that you´ll have til patch!
For all you other´s that have a newer version of the MacOS then 7.5.1 (such as 7.5.2 & 7.5.3), simply open "3D resources" in the "Resources"-folder, and copy all images, replace them in the system-updater file, and make a restart! Good luck!
After a few seconds you´ll hopefully get the message "The patch was succesfully applied!", and you can then look how good your starting-picture now are looking, by making a restart!
Enjoy!
