i read almost all post on this forum and i made some bootable cd with easyboot.my problem is that i don't know how to use this option "use image text". there are few posts, i read it all but is confusing, at least for me. i want to create some nice layout like the one presented on this forum by the doomer and others but i don't know where to start. if someone is willing to explain how to do that i would really apreciated.i think is an important option in easyboot but only few suggestions how to do it.maybe someone find the time to explain.thank you

Step1: Get a background image
Step2: Draw text on the image by PhotoShop, using SINGLE color, for example PURE RED. Save the image as .BMP format
Step3: Start EasyBoot, specify the .BMP as background image
Step4: Define the color used by text:
  - click on 'Options' button and choose 'Configuration' from the popup menu
  - click one of the 16 colors under 'Color Table'. for example, #2 of second line, LightRed color
  - click pick button next to color name
  - move the plus pointer on text, click , the color will be changed
  - click 'OK' to close the dialogue
Step5: Switch to menu page, create a menu item with the same position as the text on image, and check 'Use Image Text' option
Step6: Set normal color pair: use the color defined by step 4 as foreground color, any color as background color
Step7: Set highlight color pair: use the color defined by step 4 as foreground color, same background color as normal pair
