LogonStudio updates?

from Stardock Forums
Hey all!

Will there ever be any plans on maybe making LogonStudio resolution independent? I recently went from 1024xwhatever to 1280xwhatever, and my favorite screens are now tiled and broken.

I've confirmed that logons are indeed resolution dependent, so I was wondering if there might ever be a resolution INdependent version of LS? maybe a nominal cost "plus" version ?

Failing that, does anyone know of an easy way to change a logon to a larger screen size? Or do I have to rework all the screen images myself and rebuild the logon?

TIA

You could just resize the Bitmap_100.bmp to the new resolution, though it will probably look just as distorted. When I have a particular Logon I like, sometimes I just replace the bitmap_100 with a different wallpaper, like the current one I'm using and it works just as well. I don't *think* you'd have to mess with the other images.

I think all manner of  things will change with Vista looming.  Until then . . . roll with it I guess. And wait.  And see.

Get out the clue-by-four and whack me with it, okay?

Logon Studio, in the edit mode, allows me to specify the exact size that I want the picture to be stretched to . . . .

For logons that are made with Logon Studio and when you use them at 1280 now and the center panel is now tiled or too small, (usually they move to the top left of the center panel), set the center panel to "stretched" in the LS editor, save, and apply.

Usually that will work fine, but sometimes the image will show with white blotches when stretched. If that happens, close the Logon Studio editor, go to the folder for that particular logon (C:/Program Files/Wincustomize/Logon Studio), open the uifile, and change line 14 from this:

background: rcbmp(100,6,#0,0,0,1,0);//rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);

to this:

background: rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);//rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);

That will take care of the problem.

DON'T open the logon in the LS editor after that or LS will change the file back to how it was before.

doesn't changing "mask color" to white fix this as well?

easier than editing the uifile
