Help With LogonXP....

I'm having difficulties with getting rid of the bottom panel in LogonXP. I don't want it there at all, and when I set its appearance value to "false" a big fat white spot appears there in its stead. The center panel image isn't stretched all the way... it is very frustrating. Does anyone have some advice for me? What am I doing wrong?

I get around it by using the bottom part of the main image as a separate image for the bottom panel. In other words, if I'm starting with an image of 1600x1200, I split it into 2 images - one of say 1600x1125 and another of 1600x75. Then I use the large one as the Bitmap100 (primary image) and the small bottom section for the Bitmap200 (bottom panel).

If you're picky like I am it takes a little tweaking to make it appear seamless but it works. Also, I think the "stretching" might not be consistent throughout various resolutions; i.e., a screen that I've made that looks good on the 1600x1200 resolution might be off a little bit at 1280x1024. Another quirk is that in my example of a 75 pixel tall bottom image, the bottom panel height is set for 70, but I had to use a 75 pixel high image to make it match up.

Anyway you get the idea. The end result is the appearance of a single full screen image and the "shutdown" button lies on top of it in the lower left.

I have installed Logon Studio on my XP, It was working for awhile, but then this week I tried to download a few logon screens, they downloaded O.K. but I can't get them to the Logon program so I can apply them, what am I doing wrong? In advance Thanks!!

Have you tried double-clicking them? Or maybe you need to import them, if they're in .exe format.
