Since version 5.05, EasyBoot supports a new feature named 'Use Image Text'. Here is some tips:

1) Create an bitmap image by third-party image processing program (such as PhotoShop, ACDSee), put menu text in any font and size, but using SINGLE color value (named color1 later) for text string, save it as back.bmp
2) Start EasyBoot, and specify back.bmp as the background image
3) Use 'Options'->'Configuration' to define the value of text color (color1).
  PS: It is recommaned to pick this color from background image, so it matches the text color on background image exactly.
4) Create a menu item, check 'Use Image Text' option, then select defined text color (color1) as foreground color of 'Normal status', and specify foreground color of 'Highlight status' as wanted
5) Do as steps 3-4 for background color, or simply make both background color for 'Normal status' and 'Highlight status' the same (any) color to achieve 'transparent' effect
6) When boot menu comes out, EasyBoot will re-map color pairs between Normal and Highlight according to mouse movement

There is a sample ISO image at http://dw.ezbsys.net/mycd.zip . You can extract the files to harddisk by UltraISO or test it by VMWare or Virtual PC.

Many times I see the .BM1 previously made to be incompatible, and has to be re-generated (by disabling logo then enabling it back).
What is the format of BM1 actually?  (its same size as original BMP, so I assume its just a few bytes changed/scrambled)

Is it possible to get easyboot use the BMP directly?  (without needing to convert to BM1/BM2)
