Some Cool Tricks for OS X!

[ITz The MaN]

I found that resexcellence has a cool page with a bunch of tricks for os x (http://www.resexcellence.com/osx/index.shtml) I looked at the part that tells you how to change your startup screen, and I wondered if you can replace it with a movie or something (I heard from someone that his friend did that). I dont realy feel like testing it, so I was wondering if anyone eles wanted to have the honor of finding out. Please reply with your results!
Thanx!

Sure. It's possible to change the boot panel; it's just a PDF file.

Here's the location:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Resources/bootpanel.pdf

How do one change that to a movie then?

I think you'd have to import a movie into the pdf, using Acrobat4 or Exchange. I'd keep the panel the same size, and mport your movie so that it is inside the panel. then just save the pdf i guess.

Let me know if it works!
