Okay, here's how I "did it". I don't use Ubuntu anymore, and my Linux is 
a REAL installation, so I had to get down and dirty with good ol' Gimp!

1. Take a Screenshot from OSDir of Flight 7's Usplash (You have to use 
the Flight 7 shots because that build has the new aspect rules, shown 
off by its VMware screenshot)

2. Take it into Gimp, and crop it down to only the BOTTOM half

3. Paste the bottom half into your Usplash artwork

4. Using a combination of the Paintbrush,  the Colormap, and the Select 
By Color tool, paint in the correct colors in the correct spots based 
off the guidelines on the Wiki.

5. Then, I placed next to "Configuring X", the word Failed in Red, using 
the Bitstream Vera Sans font without anti-aliasing, and at a small size.

See everyone? That's the way you do it!

p.s. I received this email from Troy, he was so amazed!
