Never heard of the splash generator but I'll convert for you if you want?

The "Splash Generator" is supposed to be here:
http://cheese.org/generator.php
The page still exists, but it didn't work when I just tried it a minute ago.

The only problem with any of these on-line generators, is that all they will do is resize your existing picture. So for example your MG badge would end up oval on a wide-screen TomTom.

If you do it yourself in a "paint" program on the PC, you can make your own decisions about how it looks - for yours, Darren had to add some background colour to each side to make it wider.

I thought you had to name it splash.bmp for it to work,But you dont now, When did that change?

Can you change the shutdown splash screen?

If you paste it straight into the correct location then you do but for wide-screen versions its splashw.bmp, if you save it into your pictures folder and use the menu to choose it as a Startup Pic then TomTom does the name change for you

Yes, same image size dimensions and format, called suspendw.bmp

Hmm, there is definitely a suspendw.bmp file on my 940?

Okay, I'll check in a little while. I know there WAS an antitheft.bmp file on my 720 but honestly don't remember if it got renamed to suspendw.bmp in a previous app update.

Mind you, I don't remember what I had for lunch today... and that was 2 hours ago, my time! Rolling Eyes
