***********************************************

- Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK! because the tools still alpha at the moment and may contain bugs
- Come with resolution of 16:10 and 16:9 but only in *.bs7 file, there is no *.exe installer since some people encountered error with that installer
- *.bs7 skin needs [THIS] to apply it)
- If you've mod your bootscreen before, please restore your backup file and/or uninstall the previous bootscreen before applying
- well, then! enjoy!
- and :+fav: if you like :D

In case you get stuck forever in Windows Recovery Environment then you need to manually restore winload.exe. Here are the directions:

-Once you enter Windows Recovery Environment press "Cancel" right away (while it is still scanning)
-Click "Yes" on the warning that pops up
-Click "View advanced options for system recovery and support"
-Select your keyboard types and click "Next>"
-Select an account (not "HomeGroupUser$") and enter any necessary password and click "Ok"
-Click "Command Prompt" (the last option)
-Enter the following commands:

d:
cd \Windows\System32
del winload.exe
ren "winload - Backup.exe" winload.exe
cd \Windows\Boot\PCAT
del bootmgr
ren "bootmgr - Backup" bootmgr
exit

-Click "Restart"
