    Hi,

    I wanted to set up a custom Splash Screen for VeraCrypt, actually there is a Lenovo Splash screen on my fully ecnrypted T470s

    I found out that in the config of the Bootloader there is a

    <config key="PasswordPicture">login.bmp</config>

    But where will be the login.bmp stored? And what are the precise limiations in Height Witdh Size and Format of the Login.bmp?

    Thanks

    Thank you, now i got it. But I have more questions which are not discussed in that DCSPROP:

    Is BMP a mandatory Format? What is the maximum file Size and Measurements?

    How to do it for those who dont know:

    • Run CMD as Administrator
    • mountvol E: /S (use a Letter which is not blocked by a HDD or USB Stick!)
    • in the CMD Window type E:
    • DIR (to show directory)
    • cd EFI (to change into EFI directory)
    • cd VeraCrypt
    • DIR
    • this is where to put login.bmp
      to do so:
      If your login.bmp is on your Desktop then:
    • move C:\Users\YOURUsername\Desktop\login.bmp E:\EFI\VeraCrypt

    thats it.

    PS: to go a directory back type in CD .. (2 points after cd will get you back.

    BMP - yes. the only format.
    size - depends of video mode. to check EFI\VeraCrypt\PlatformInfo
