LogonStudio- More forgotten than the long- lost ObjectBar.
Some updates are definatley needed!!!
Friday, February 11, 2005 by PurrBall | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
All hail, well..... everybody.
LogonStudio is about as out of date now as Luna. It is buggy, slow, (and for me) seldomly used.
The last update made to it was in 2002. That's a little after XP came out. There are lots of things to be fixed in it.
Some suggestions------
-An icon that looks good over 16x16 size.
-The blue color that appears before the logon sould be able to be changed by the user.
-The UIFile's User status section should not default to the 'cream' color when inactive. (I was able to edit that, but when I opened the logon in the editor it changed back)
-A changeable shutdown screen.
-The normal 'Go' button shouldn't shrink itself
-When logging on another user when another one is logged on, the 'loading your perosnal settings' boax shouldn't be faded out.
-The 'welcome' when logging on should actually show.
That's it for me. Anything else? This should be to Stardock's attention.

the only thing that bothers me is the 'go' button jumping around when you click on it.
It is a little buggy though and can crash on you while editing a logon.
other than that, you can only add to the basic functions:
- animations
- transparentcies
LOL
so the developer ran off? that is too funeh

Maybe the developer got a pay cut and got mad at Brad.

I would love to be able to edit the UIfile without having
it to be trial and error, and an easier preview not a real
logon like it is now i think tkat's verry time consuming,
especialy if you click on the wrong name.

I asked Frogboy about this at the chat, and he said it won't be updated until Longhorn comes around.

Especially about the "Welcome" showing. And for that matter I would love to see the "log off,saving settings, and shutting down" too! Without it it just looks like wallpaper.

the older version also doesn't seem to have a problem with the 'go' button jumping.
I guess in the code you can change something to make it work... I haven't found it yet when I open it to Notepad.

You can have that show if you have a logo set.

What logo set? The side logo image? why would that change anything else? (well, it didn't on my screen)

quite a few of the things listed you can change if you look at the UIFILE.txt code......but i guess that defeats the purpose o fhaving a prog.
ive already listed how to get the welcome to show in another thread, but ill say it again here:
in the UIFILE.txt code, there is a section that goes:
<element id=atom(msgarea) layout=verticalflowlayout(0,0,0,2)>
<element layout=filllayout() width=240rp> // DOUG: sets the width of the welcome text
<element id=atom(welcomeshadow) content=rcstr(7)/>
<element id=atom(welcome) content=rcstr(7)/>
</element>
</element>
where ive got the comment, the width is by default set to 0, which is why the welcome text never shows.
ill be getting around to writing an indepth tutorial on logons soon (have to finish another logon)

I believe you can change that with X-Setup http://www.x-setup.net/
