Editing a LogonStudio file

Tuesday, February 22, 2005 by randstein | Discussion: OS Customization

I have loaded a logon with a custom logon dialog box for the users/passwords (essentially a MacOS login screen). I want to change the text on the top of this dialog box (it says Mac OS), and replace it with some other text. How do I do this?

Thanks

hey, perhaps i can help you. but i guess it would be wise to tell me what logon you want to change the text. there are a lot of ways actually. you can edit the theme.ini file. or you can tweak the uifile.txt it depends but if the text is on the graphics itself, then it is a different matter.

actually, look at the theme.ini (open it in notepad); thats where all the text, (most of the) colour codes and font-related stuff is stored (and externally referenced by the UIFILE.txt).

however, if, as The Sphynx says, the text is part of the image, youll need to edit that graphics file manually.

The text was from on the bitmap. I merely edited that file in photoshop to contain the text I wanter, but after doing that I get an error when trying to use the modified logon as it says "Parser error 40", or something like that.

The BMP file is Bitmap_128

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

make sure that the file is actually saved as a BMP.
also, there could be a chance where the original image was 32-bits, and youve saved it as 24-bits, or vice-versa..
Bitmap_128 doesnt seem to be an actual default bitmap for anything..
