Changing the Splash Screen on New Builds vs Last Year's

(1/2) > >>

johnnyhaggis:
I'm not very experienced, but on my previous build of rockbox which is from may 2007 I was able to replace the splash screen simply by replacing the rockboxlogo.320.98.16.bmp image in apps/bitmaps/native

I even used a 320x240 pixel image and it would work, except I would have a blue horizontal bar abour 10-15 pixels thick at the top.

However, with the recent builds, if I replace the rockboxlogo.320.98.16.bmp file it has no effect - I compile it, and then when I boot my device, I just get the old rockbox splash logo.  

What do I need to do to replace the logo with recent builds?  Am I restricted to 320x98 images?  

ALSO - If I am limited to a 320x98 image, how can I change the bakcground colour of the splash screen - by default it's a cyan blue, and I want to make it black to match my custom logo.  

Thanks

I've never changed the splash screen, so I'm assuming the way you're doing it is right.

C source files are generated from the bitmaps, and those are then compiled.  If you compiled a version with the stock image, the Makefile may not have picked up on the changed bitmap, and consequently you'd still be using the old .c file. Doing a "make clean" should clear out all the old files and let you start from scratch, or you can find and delete the rockboxlogo.320.98.16.c and rockboxlogo.320.98.16.o files in your build directory, forcing it to be recompiled.

Just a guess.

johnnyhaggis:
Thanks! - is "make clean" a command (i.e. I just type "make clean" instead of "make" to compile?

cool_walking_:
Yes, "make clean" is a command, but it will _only_ clean the build directory of intermediate files, it will not compile, so you need to still do "make" afterwards.

johnnyhaggis:
Oh wait - before trying make clean or deleting the relevant c files,  I recompiled it but using a 320x98 image instead of a 320-240 full screen image and it worked this time.   Is there any reason why it would reject full screen images, and how would I change that?  

Also how do I change the position of the bmp to the center instead of middle top, and how do I change the background colour at the splash screen?  Where are the tags that determine these aspects?
