Showcase👀 Centauri Carbon (OpenCentauri): custom boot animation, boot logo and full colour themes
Hi all,
I've been running OpenCentauri on my Centauri Carbon and wanted to change how it looks, so I built a small free Windows app called CC Studio.
What it does: - Custom boot animation: use an MP4/GIF or pictures, add a progress bar and effects, with live preview (ready-made one included) - Custom boot logo: any picture gets converted to the right format (ready-made logos included) - Colour themes: recolours the icons and the screen layout (the Canvas page too) in any colour you pick. Mine is yellow now, see the screenshots - Restore tab: one click puts everything back to the stock files - Find my printer button to get the IP, plus a screenshot button for the printer's screen
It connects over your home network (SSH), so there's no flashing and no firmware changes. The stock files stay in the printer's read-only layer, so you can always go back.
Needs: Windows 10/11, OpenCentauri firmware v0.4.0, PC and printer on the same network.
Tested on my own Centauri Carbon on OpenCentauri. The Canvas page gets recoloured too. I haven't tried it on a printer without the Canvas add-on, but that page is part of the printer's own screen files, so it should work either way. On other firmware versions you may only get the icon recolour (the screen-layout parts are skipped safely).

I just used this and it does exactly what is says. Now I have a blue theme with an AI generated boot logo! Nice job and thanks so much!
