Logons are split.

Certain Logons I use are split in two. A black area that runs from top right straight down then to the left. Is it a matter of resizing them? Thanks in advance

going on what you said, you might have to play with the margins of the file in skinstudio, when you talk about 'black' is that the colour of the skin? if not, that to me sounds like a png file that dosent have the translucency button checked... so far I am only guessing the problem on what you have said.....I wish I had more info about your question...(pout) ......

Basically it should look like a wallpaper. The logon I used is called Future Homes by Mike56. What it does is half the image is on the upper left, the rest is on the bottom and top right. I know it sounds wierd but...that is exactly what it is doing. I'm only describing what I see. Thats why I said it was split.

What resolution are you using? I would guess 1280x1024 and that logon is made for 1024x768 and the wall shrinks up in the top left corner.

You can open the logon studio editor and set the center panel to "Stretched" and it will fix the sizing problem, but with some walls the image will have white spots and blotches and a line in the uifile needs to be changed to fix it.

Let me know, and I'll post the code change if you need it.

I just checked it...it is for 1024x768. If you want to use it at a higher res, you need to open the Logon Studio editor, click on "Center Panel" on the right side, then down towards the bottom click on "Style" and you should see a dropdown arrow. Click it and set to stretched, save and apply.

Then close the LS editor, go to the logon folder, open the uifile, and change line 14 from this:

background: rcbmp(100,6,#0,0,0,1,0);//rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);

to this:

background: rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);//rcbmp(100,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);

Save the uifile and apply the logon and it should be fine.

Don't open the logon in the LS editor after that or it will change the uifile back to the default settings.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner...link to my ISP failed. I did the resize and that worked
thanks Boss0190. The value I found in the uifile was different from the one you listed.
It read rcbmp(124,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);//rcbmp(100,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);I left that alone.
Question...line 14...do you count the styles entries as line one, etc? Hold on...tiny little ballon just popped up telling me WB update is available (5.01.0017)...did you ever see those commercials about DSL and the turtles?...I feel like the turtle with
dialup Oh...Duh...I should have listed my resolution. It is 1280x1024. Sometimes I don't know about me.
