Problems with LogonStudio

from WinCustomize Forums
When I am creating my own logon screen I want to get rid of the top and bottom panels as well as all dividers, I want a unsplit full screen image. When I make the bottom panel and divider "False" so there is no bitmap the preview displays as a single unsplit full screen image, when I apply the image, the bottom panel and divider displays as a white space ontop of my image as if the panel and divider were set to white. If i make the bottom panel "true" but change the size to 1 I no longer have the shutdown button. I have no problems with the top panel.

Can someone help me.

You need the bottom panel to be a separate pic....a segment of what would be the original whole screen.
In other words, the full screen looking image is infact 2 images.
If the bottom 'panel' then exists it will have the shutdown, etc...

You can do this, but you have to redesign the logon's structure, and for that you need to edit the UIFILE.txt file. It's written in a form of XML. You'd have to take the bit that looks a bit like









out of the bottempanel section and put it in the leftpanel (or somewhere else). You could then get rid of the bottompanel and the toppanel sections.

Feel free to [email protected] me if you want specific details on any area of the format, as I studied it in some depth to do my "Docking Station" logons the way I wanted.

Ack. Well, that didn't work very well, since it took it to be HTML!

"The bit" starts with "button id=atom(power)"
and ends with "/button". Make sure you don't miss out the undock button as well.
