U don't apply directly any wallpaper of ur boot screen bcz the format of the bootscreen wallpaper is diff frm normal wallpaper. The fmt of bootscreen wallpaper is *.bootskin but for normal wallpaper it is basically *.jpg.

*.bootskin is a zip file with bitmaps and config file within it. So you can convert jpg to 16 colour bitmap and create your own .bootskin file. Just compress it(bitmap&config file) using winzip and change extension to .bootskin
