After some more hours of coding and only 3 hours of sleep time in at least last 36 hours (and somewhere like only 8 to 9 hours of sleep time in the last 3 days) I have a new version of ConversHacker.

Features:
Now it will build a VBF file ready to be used. In order to be good, you have to choose in which flash you want to have it uploaded and also at which offset. For now I only tested with External Flash, as my main FW has logo enabled for this one, at offset 0x12 00 00 (0x30 12 00 00 as seen by CPU).
It will also convert the JASC-PAL file automatically to BGR file and allow you to save it; the same applies for the converted logo in BIN format.
The JASC-PAL file needs to be in RGB format, so in IrfanView just go to Palette and export it to a file, then give this file to ConversHacker.

Steps:
Open ConversHacker, press Convert Image, in new window choose "JASC-PAL File" - it will automatically ask you to give it the PAL file you saved from IrfanView. Then press Load Image and give it the Logo you want to encode for Convers+. Next step is to press "Encode".
Now it allows you to Save the image as BIN or to Create VBF that contains everything. For VBF you need to enter the offset of memory in HEX, without "0x". For tests, you can enter 424 so the created VBF file can be opened back with CH and it will also recognize the "In File BGR".
For Custom Logo enabled Convers+ with image in external flash you can enter 120000.

If you want to test Image Converter with other Theme / BGR / JASC-PAL file you have to load this first then reload the image.

On uploading the Logo to Convers it will only erase the needed space for it.
BE VERY CAREFULL WITH WHAT OFFSET YOU PUT AS YOU CAN BRAKE YOUR CONVERS+.
I'm in no way responsible to the damage you can cause with this software.
It's still in Beta version, a lots of tests needs to be done and a lot of steps need to be taken into consideration. You might get other results if you play with the options in a different way. When you want to make sure that it's a good VBF file it is best to close CH and then open and follow exactly the steps I explained earlier.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Awesome work DGAlexandru!
All i can tell from my disassemblings is that bootlogo is located in internal Flash of MPU. I narrowed down the routine responsible for drawing it.

And it's also important whether it's a Bin file or a VBF header file. There, the addresses do not match and can create chaos ...

Yes both are bin I forgot to save as bin after removing the header
