Customizing the startscreen

In this first article i will explain how to customize the startscreen. The startscreen is located in the data.zip file, before you make modifications make sure you have made a backup of this file.

I-Go:
In the data.zip file you can find 3 or 2 files named "loading1.jpg", "loading2.jpg" or "loading3.jpg".

Loading1.jpg is used for 240x320 resolution, loading2.jpg is used for 320x240 resolution. Loading3.jpg is only used in I-go for the 240x240 resolution for the hp ipaq hw6500,6510 and hw6515. Extract the loading files inclusive pathname to your pc, then replace the loadingx.jpg with the new loading jpg file and add these new files to the data.zip file.

Miomap:
Extract data.zip file to your pc. Replace the loading.jpg in uip_miomio folder with the loading1.jpg after you have renamed the file to loading.jpg. Zip the data file again and recplace the data file on the sd card with the new dat.zip file

Below are customized startscreens for I-go and Miomap v3.2. Click on an image for full picture which can be saved to your own computer.

Using iGO 2006, I tried changing to the loading1.jpg. I get a a small image in the upper left hand corner. Any way to get that to stretch to fill the screen. Also I am trying to change the "ground" color to a light green. I assume that in the color.ini the "ground" is the RGB color I need to change. I'm not having any luck seeing any change at all. This is a great website - thanks for your help.

Hi Warren,

Make sure that after zipping the path of loading1.jpg is still correct.
For Igo you should use following path:
title\ or vga\title\

Miomap and Igo 2006 SE are using other paths.

Gound is not the ground but the default background in color.ini.
