Styled after the awesome theme build 'Mechanism (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/57160-Mechanism?p=267829&viewfull=1#post267829)'.

This was a very special group project .
The concept and art work is by icebabee and this started out as gsw953 putting her ideas into a theme build,
and with the help of many others it soon grew into a massive project with a ton of extras!
I had a lot of fun working on this and hope you enjoy what you see!!

This skin was made in 16:9 (1900x1080) resolution and may not appear correctly in other resolutions. If you are not running a 1920x1080 resolution, I would suggest you first load the 'PNG Images' folder instead of the .bs7 file. This should apply the skin with the best results. To check your monitor resolution go to 'Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution' and your current resolution will be listed on the line 'Resolution:' Once you have the skin applied you can now save it as a new .bs7 file using your own native resolution if you wish.

To apply this boot skin I use the portable app 'Windows 7 Boot Updater made by Jeff Bush over at coder4life.com (http://coderforlife.com/projects/win7boot/).
Follow this LINK for a video Tutorial about how to change the animated boot screen in Windows 7 using the app 'Boot Updater' (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/57172-Change-the-Windows-7-Boot-screen-with-Boot-Updater)
Remember there are risk's involved so be familiar with how to recover the operating system just in case.
Personally I have never had any issues or problems. But I have read about some instances when users have had problems.
For example. It may not work with certain language packs. If you are dual booting with Windows 7 & 8 you may have also have a problem.
Helpful links are included with the download that will show you how to:
1) Make a system restore CD/DVD, or system restore disk.
2) How to create a restore point.
3) How to boot into the Windows recovery options from the boot menu.
