So I'll start it off here...
Here are some examples of what I've(ok and my friend Nikki wants credit here too :cheers: ) done with AeroStudio... It may take about a minute to load the images(and rollover) so please be patient. Anyways let me know what you guys think?

Honestly I just fiddled around with it until i figured things out. A click here, a click there and your cooking... It's a fairly simple interface with a little bit of a learning curve.

hi Christian
i saw your boot menues,they look very nice,But i think This kinds of menues in boot time
are a little bit confusing, specialy for basic users.
Boot menu should be simple and easy to understand ,see mine in picture from attachment

I like your layout. I had a few simple ones but I just wanted to showcase the possibilities of what the software can actually do. Plus its just fun creating multiple layouts.. I also found you can boot multiple boot menus if you really needed to which is pretty cool as well.

Thanks Shirin! I'll try and see if I can tackle a tutorial once work slows down a bit. For me the hardest thing was to figure out how to use transparent images. I found that *.png files were the way to go. To keep the ISO down to a small size, I just kick-start all the other grub4dos apps from floppy images (.ima files) which I wrap up with AeroStudio. I'm still trying to figure out what version of Grub4dos it uses so I can further reduce the size by just adding in commands. :cheers:

Thanks! Great piece of software with many possibilities... I finally got my image size at around 3mb from 17mb after gzip my ima files and running them from the menu. Much faster now...
