How many are in my boat?
Saturday, October 23, 2004 by CarLuva | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'd love to use BootSkin more, but I currently have a dilemma. I run my computer at 1600x1200 resolution (19" monitor), which leaves me with a grand total of one BootSkin theme that will appear correctly on my system. There are a few others that appear mostly correct. How many other people use 1600x1200 resolution and would like to see more BootSkin themes released in 1600x1200?

you can edit the images to the res you use with logonstudio. i have to do it every now and then but not often.

Open LogonStudio > select your logon > Edit > Under the Elements heading, select Center Panel > under the Properties - Center Panel heading select Style > Stretched > Save and Apply.

@Koasati
sometimes that doesnt work.... pressing the edit button and then saving in logon studio just screws up the transparency and alignment that is used with some skins...
the best way is to open up the logon folder and edit the background bitmap (bitmap_100.bmp i believe) and resize that to your desired screen width (1600 in your case), but keep the height in same ratio as before (not 1200, since the top and bottom panels subtract from the actual size of hte background pic)

hmmm...I suppose I could do that...I actually did some LogonStudio editing a while back, but never finished anything because of schoolwork and transparency issues I couldn't seem to resolve

Isn't the bootscreen set to one resoloution of 1024 or something like that?
Original post is about Bootskins, but seems now it might be LogonStudio, so I may be on the wrong track.
