Now this comes with a little mystery: the color palette isn't present in the bitmap since build 2419, but it doesn't seem to be in ntoskrnl.exe either until build 2481 with the RTM boot screen (at least not in the RTM format), so my final question is: Where could the color palette be stored from build 2419 to build 2475?ĪlphaBeta wrote:Up to build 2416, the boot screen was pretty simple:

Of course, this means that the boot screen needed to display more than 16 colors in total, more than the 4-bit bitmap could fit in its palette, so the enumeration of colors was moved outside the bitmap and its color palette was changed to be all-black, which causes Resource Hacker and any other software working with the bitmap's own color palette to just display a black picture: The fade-in animation still remained and made its way into RTM: The "loading." label was soon scrapped and not even ten builds later we see a completely new boot screen with the familiar moving squares. The mechanism changed a little bit with build 2474 and its short-lived blinking "loading." boot screen, but the core principle stayed: the "loading." label had its own color palette entry (made it cyan in the following screenshot for illustration purposes), which changed colors between various shades of gray as the system booted up: The only thing that changed was the bitmap:
#Navicat data modeler dictionary windows
The boot screen was updated in build 2428 to accomodate the new Windows flag, but the mechanism stayed the same.
It changed the color values of the last 4 fields in the palette to create a fade-in/out animation of the color bars. To accomplish the fade animations, Windows used a little trick: it changed the colors in the color palette on the fly. As you can see in the picture above, the boot screen of build 2419 uses 12 shades of gray and 4 colors. Now, the boot screen was running in 4 bit color, which means that no more than 16 colors can be displayed at a time. Instead of just changing the position of an element in the bitmap, Windows first faded the boot screen in and then started fading the color bars in and out. The boot animation mechanism was changed in build 2419 with the introduction of this bootscreen: This boot screen used exactly 16 colors in total. The color palette of the boot screen was also self-contained in the bitmap. The system just rotated the rings in the middle of the picture in a loop. One of the useful features of this program is the possibility of comparing two databases in such a way that after applying changes in different parts of a database, you can clearly see the applied changes. Also, using the reverse engineering tool of this program, you can easily extract the ER structure of the desired database. After designing the database, this software automatically generates SQL scripts for you.Up to build 2416, the boot screen was pretty simple: Navicat Data Modeler supports databases of various engines including MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Working with each of these databases is no different. All objects and database entities and the relationship between them in this program are displayed visually and by clicking on them you can make the necessary edits.
With the help of this software, it is possible to create database relational models and create corresponding SQL scripts with just one click. Things like designing the overall structure of the database, reverse engineering processes, importing information models from ODBC resources, building advanced SQL / DDLs, printing models, and much more are all done graphically. You do not need to write different commands to do this. With the help of this program, you can design a variety of database models, including conceptual, logical, and physical models. Navicat Data Modeler is a powerful tool for database design.
