Awesome, I much prefer building my custom loader (extra graphics) from Chimera rather than Chameleon, but it's so rare that the latest Chimera is available in source.

Speaking of which, any chance of committing the 2.1.1 fix?

My custom changes are slight... A custom Windows XP icon (relies on volume label being named - or renamed as - Windows XP), some kerning on the fonts, and a non-configurable disabling of the grey background generated before showing the Apple Boot Logo. (For my all dark themes).

One day I may get around to making the options configurable.

Thanks for reminding me, did it this morning.

I edit my minor changes into my earlier post, I think they're quite .. pretty lookin'. If one was to make them a little more configurable, that would just be swell to include in Chimera.

Added Windows XP Icon

Then switch to black boot screen, without the grey background flashing up.

And some font kerning.
