    Default Rider v2 Change Splash Screen

    Hi folks,

    I'm trying to change the start up splash screen on my Rider v2 (App 9.500.1161701.2, OS 547200) but it doesn't want to work.
    I created a new image using the splash screen creator here:-

    and downloaded it to the root directory of my sd card (after deleting the old splash screen), making sure the file was called "splash.bmp". When I load up Tomtom Home and go to "Manage my device" the new splash screen shows up under start up images, but when I start the satnav it doesn't use the new splash screen & instead uses the default Tomtom one. I've checked the dimensions which are correct at 320 x 240, and if I copy the old splash screen back (which I originally downloaded from Tomtom years ago) then it is used on start up.

    I've tried manually creating an image, and modifying my existing image by pasting the new one on top of it then saving it, but neither of these have worked.
    Anyone know how to get a custome splash screen to work please?

    Basically you can take any picture you want.
    There is absolutely no need to use TomTom Home.
    Important is the name and size and if indeed the old image comes back then you have not overwritten it.
    Connect your Rider v2 to your PC and you can view it as an external HDD, but it is more convenient and faster to insert the SDHC card directly into a card reader, because the USB is very slow.
    Put everything on the SDHC card and empty the internal memory.

    I've called the file "splash.bmp" and it is 320 x 240 pixels which I believe is the correct size for a Rider v2. But it still doesn't show, and I only get the Tomtom splash screen. I've attached a link to the file I'm trying to use - maybe someone could take a look at it and see what's wrong with it please?

    Woohoo... that did it! I'm using a Mac so when I compared info about the various splash files it didn't show bit depth.

    Thanks very much.
