How do I move the Logon Picture and Password Field

LogonStudio Vista

from Stardock Forums
Without any Documentation, I have to assume, by reading the posts here, that I must edit the UIFile (via Notepad). Where in the UIFIle are these items located and what do I change to get the Vista User Picture and the Password Field moved off of Center.
Most of the Logons I've downloaded are center based, so the picture and password field block the main part of the Logon Screen.
Now that I think about it, the Logoff messages ("logging off" and "Shutting Down") along with the Vista Hourglass replacement Thingy will need to be moved off of center as well.
I'm looking for: where in the UIFile to find these 4 items and what values should be edited-in to move the 4 items off of center?

Thanx to any and all that can help me with this matter.

I believe that the only thing that can be changed in Logonstudio Vista is the background image, the rest is in the works as far as I know but not ready yet.

The uifile is located inside the authui.dll file. Near the top of the file (on mine its the fourth line) is the line element layoutpos="client". You can change client to top,right,bottom,or left and this will change the position of the welcome and logging off messages. I'm still working on moving the user picture and password field.

Am I right in thinking that authui.dll is a binary file.
If I am right, then one would need a binary file editor to edit such a file.

Thanks

Notepad ++ works very well for just that purpose!
But good luck with your changes...?
