Miroslav, Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for!
Looking at the code, I would think if I want to get rid of the progress bar altogether I could eliminate the:
psplash_draw_progress()
code and that would then just display the picture. Is that correct? What if I just want to change the color of the status bar?
I see the psplash-bar-img.h is in there so I have the byte code for the file, but could the actual image itself be included? (I assume I need to change the image first, then I can turn it into byte codes then the color will be new)
