Changing the boot screen in the kitchen is easy! Follow these simple steps:

1. Obtain or create a JPG, GIF or BMP file that is exactly 240 pixels wide by 320 pixels high.
2. Open up Image Converter.exe in this directory. Click the "Load" button and navigate to the file from step #1. Double-click on the file.
3. It should display on the screen. If it looks as expected then click the "Save NB" button. Save it anywhere you like but I suggest using this "Change Boot Screen" folder.
4. Close the Image Converter application.
5. Open up patchlogo.exe in this directory. It will first ask you to find the .fat file (which is the raw framework of the Apache ROM before you build it). You can find the nk.fat file in the \ROM subdirectory of the main kitchen folder. So hit the "Up one level" button, then navigate to \ROM and select the nk.fat file in there.
6. It will then ask you for the .nb file you created in Step 3. Navigate to that file and click Open.
7. A dialog box should display saying that the rom was patched successfully.

That's it! Now every ROM that you build using this kitchen folder will have that bootscreen in it. Note that a backup copy of nk.fat (nk_bak.fat) is created in the \ROM folder in case you want to revert to the previous bootscreen--if so just delete the nk.fat file and rename nk_bak.fat to nk.bat.


Note: Image Converter gives the impression that it has the ability to convert .nb files back to .bmp but it does not work. You can load a .nb file to view it (you must change the "Files of Type" dropdown to ".nb" in the Open dialog box) but if you click the "Save BMP" button it will output a BMP consisting of the appp's background screen--not the .nb file.
