LogonStudio Question(s)

from Stardock Forums
Hey what's up guys, I've only just started messing around with LogonStudio and I can make a reasonably basic Logon. I was just wondering if there's a comprehensive guide for "UIFILE.txt" file somewhere out there? Also, I'd like to know if you can use this "magic pink" technique I've heard about and apply it the Logons to give the BMP's some transparency.

There's some fairly good things hereLink to give you some idea of what does what in the uifiles. Here also
Link It's not easy, there's tons of trial and error, and a lot of locked up logons along the way.
Magic pink is fairly useless in logons. The transparency that most people think of in logons is usually achieved with 32 bit alpha blended bmps, and generally you need Photoshop or a similar program that can create them. Check Sphynx's tut on how to do them.

Have fun, and you can always email me if you have any questions

Thanks so much boss0190! This is sure to get me on the right track. Sphynx's tut is exactly what I was looking for. I have Photoshop, but I prefer to work in Macromedia Fireworks so I'm looking for a way to achieve the same transparent effect with Fireworks.

Thanks again.
