custom splash screen request

[tmettler5]

Is there anyone on the forum who knows how to create custom splash screens? I surfed over to [HOW TO] Create custom hboot-flashable SPLASH1 images - xda-developers to try to figure it out...but I am not sure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing.

So if there is someone who can clarify that would be great. If there is someone who can create some for me, that would be great, too!

Thanks!
