Toon XP bug - Log Off or Turn Off dialog - fixed yet?

Monday, March 3, 2003 by Phydeaux_3 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Has this bug been fixed yet? It's REALLY annoying, and after all, this is a "premium" (paid $ for) theme, so I'd expect maybe somebody could have a look at this issue? It's really driving me nucking futs. Especially when I have a friend shoulder-surfing and they ask "Hey, why does that look so awful? Didn't you PAY for this skin?!" and I have to answer "Yes & yes."

Pbbbblllease fix it? (in best Roger Rabbit voice)

Thanks,
smooches,

I checked it out and it turns out that the actual image was changed to have a gray background. I don't know why it was done though.

I've edited the image to see and it is true... for whatever reason it is grey instead of yellow now... hmmmm but im sure all will be corrected soon enough... you could always edit the bitmap yourself... make it yellow... just thinking...

Here's what I did, at no extra charge, for YOU, the Wincustomize audience...

I renamed 'xplogoff_bg.bmp' (wrong, ugly grey one) to 'xplogoff_bg2.bmp'.
I then opened 'shutdown_bg copy.bmp' (correct, pretty yellow one) into my image editor & saved it as 'xplogoff_bg.bmp'.

Now everything's tickety boo.

I did the rename too. Wish I would have investigated, myself sooner. You can do the renaming in explorer like I did. You don't need an image viewer or gfx program because in WinXP you can set explorer to view "Thumbnails". That way you can see what you are renaming. Just my 2 cents.
