Ok, that wont work, that logon is a mess..LoL...

First set your Bottom panel visible setting to *True

Next adjust your password box Panel width to 30%

Next set the top/center/bottom panel colors to black.. that would be *Mask, *First Color and Last Color..

The image is already the dimensions you want, the logon is just poorly put together, That should do it, works great for me...

G'luck.

If you click anywhere in the "body" of the logon screen ie: anywhere besides the password box, the box should fade quite a bit... you still want to be able to see it partially so you can use it..LoL

Are you talking about the bottom panel?

If you want the shutdown button to show then there are other settings/adjustments to make, the settings I gave you should only allow the logon image itself to take up the entire screen... No "Exit/Shutdown" button... No "Black Bar"..

If you have a black bar and the shut down button visible then make sure the bottom panel height is set to "0"...

If you want a full screen logon, you have to set the bottom panel to true and about 80, and crop the bottom 80 pixels off your wallpaper and save it as the bottom panel bmp. then use the rest of the wall in the center panel with the top panel set to false. That's the basic idea.

So true Boss, but being that the logon isnt his creation or mine I just wanted to at least make it work with as little "editing" as possible....

Yeah, I know. I seemed he didn't know how to do a full screen one though so I was giving him a quick tut.

We could use more of those..*Definitely..

I was probably wrong for doing as much "Editing" as I did..Though as it was the logon didnt even work...
