Thanks... though the icon's weren't my creation... they came from another splash screen, I just borrowed them.
Changing the splash screen is easy... I looked in the folder:
'/home/username/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/themes'. Each theme had its own sub-directory containing 4 or 5 pictures and a configuration file 'Theme.rc'. I noticed the pics were all 400 pixels wide, though some varied in height. The pics also used standard names such as:
splash_top.png <<< the main picture, the Contour in this case
splash_bottom.png <<< the dark bottom bar where the progress meter is shown
splash_active_bar.png <<< the icons in full color
splash_inactive_bar.png <<< the icons greyed out
Preview.png <<< the preview pic for display in KDE Control Center 'kcontrol'
All I had to do for this splash was to resize the Contour photo to be 400 pixels wide and save it as a png, renaming it to 'splash_top.png'. I just added the pic to an existing theme and renamed its folder and edited the Theme.rc file so it would show proper info in the Control Center.
Now I want to make custom icons relating to the Contour to replace the splash_inactive_bar and the splash_active_bar files.
