Live Boot Screen Patcher

This program will make a backup of your existing kernel files and modify them according to the color pallet from the (4bit, 16 color) boot screen used.

Each time you change your boot screen the backup will be used to be sure a clean kernel will be modified.
In case of a restore, the backup will be restored to make sure the kernels are as the were before using the program.

At this moment the patcher is in developtment and needs to be used with care.

This meaning it's advised the user has some experience in making windows cd's and or being able to restore the backup manually via a "Virtual GUI" boot-disk/USB-stick like Bart PE or Knoppix.
