Sorry, I can't help - I didn't even know you could change the splash screen at all, which file is it that you change, please, so I can create my own boot screen?
if XBMC is your main dash:
e:\Dash (or dashboard)\media\splash.png
if XBMC is an app:
e:\apps\xbmc\media\splash.png
the dimensions are 721x401 and according to the official XBMC forums whatever resolution you make your splash screen image it will automatically be re sized to 1/4 the total screen size and centered.
To answer my own question, after sniffing around a little longer, One would have to know c++ and be able to compile the finished product on their own. The dev's will not help you.
