If you are using Log-on studio there is a work around that you can use if you want to use a certain backround as a log-on.

This is no way the proper way to do it, but it works..

First, choose a working log-on that has everything set up the way you want it..ie: Log-on box, messages, etc,,etc,,

Then choose the wallpaper you want to use, You may have to do a little editing to the image for it to be accepted by windows.

The image has to be a BMP
Has to be indexed at 16 color -4 bit
And has to be 72 dpi

After you have all of that arranged open up Logon Studio, choose the Logon that is set-up how you want it to be set up on your image. Click *Edit on the left side, then click the image in the preview window, this will open up the backround editor on the right hand side of logon studio.
At the top of the list it's labeled "picture" and there is a "browse" button at the very end of the top row, click the browse button, browse to your image and choose it.
What happens is your image will overlay the original image, and it will always show the original image in the start-up preview window of logon studio, but your image will be displayed at log-on.

Click save, here you may get a "Run-time 53" error and Log-on studio will close, just reopen it, scroll through the list to the log-on that you used, click apply,,
And there you are..

It's a hack,
It is by no means proper,
And it might piss off the artist who's work you are covering up!
But it works

first of all you would need to send an email to Jairo Boudewyn asking her permission to use his wallpaper..he is the author and as such is due the respect. From there if you dont know how to do it, I could help you, or even to Jairo that I would be making the logon for you and have him include that information. Then it would be no problem, you would have authorization. But these are the steps you must follow..authors rights should always be number one priority and I agree his wall would make a really great logon.

This may be what they were looking at.

Well...If thats what they were looking at then I am going to have to disagree with you Yrgal...and I do.

Also the #2 on that list I am having trouble agreeing with after a bit of thought.

If a person is using the wallpaper for purely personal use (no matter *What that use involves) and they arent offering it to anyone else..How is that violating copyrights?

The method I describe above for getting a wallpaper to work as a log-on does NOT actually create a log-on out of that wallpaper..it just kinda skins over another log-on..

Now I can agree with #1 most defintely, and I have stated that myself..in this case I offer a "Work Around"..thats all.

At anyrate, if the post is all that bad the Wizops will pull it, (and I *defintely know this to be true!..LoL)and whether I agree with that or not, it will be a fact of life!..LoL

Anyway,
Just my opinion since I am the one getting my butt chewed here,
Zero.

Ok (rant,rant,rant)Yrgal, im waiting for a reply, explain to me *your justification for obviously "correcting" me, because at this point (since I have had my coffee!..LoL) I fail to see how any of your points are valid.
One thing I do see that you did *Not point out is the use of the program "Log-on Studio"(free version) for purposes that it was not exactly intended.

Ok, heres your comments 1x1 and my arguments.

1.
Do not post if you don't know the correct answer.


As I stated previously, I offer a "Work Around" how is it a *Wrong* answer?
Of course, to be completely correct would be to purchase the pro version of Log-on studio, then you can create log-ons out of pretty much anything you want, as long as you do not violate copyrights and upload them to a server where others can download them.

2.
Do not provide information that violates artists copyright.


This is really a "grey area" -is using a wallpaper as a Log-on, for purely personal use in violation? As I understand it, as long as it is not publically distributed, there is no violation. (please correct me if im wrong)
IE:
Take movies for example, I can purchase a DVD, invite my entire neighborhood over to my house to watch it and that is perfectly fine, but, if I were to plug the same DVD into a player at a public event, say a football, soccer, or any type of event where the general public is..*That is an infringment on copyrights.
Soooooo, I ask again, how is what I have shown in violation of any type of copyrights, if the user only uses it for his/her personal enjoyment??

I do know this is a touchy subject among artist, and I can understand why. In my "work around" The Log-on used, isnt really altered and can be used as originally intended, and the wall paper used is modified slightly but it is *Not* made into an actual log-on, it simply "skins" over the top of one. PLUS the wallpaper that is being used as a log on, in all probability is ALSO being used as wallpaper, so it is being used as it was intended as well. (ok, enough on that!..::laughs:

Personally, I really disagree that I have, if you are referring to the statement
And it might piss off the artist who's work you are covering up!

Then I argue that parents that are that concerned, will either have filters in place that will no doubt be programmed to block such a harmless word, or, their child is simply not allowed to surf the web (which would be unfortunate)

Being a father myself, I can admit I had many concerns with my daughters web habits,(she's 20 now and doing quite well for herself!) and even went as far as adjusting her Email client so she would not receive the numerous porn spam that we all are subject to, language is just something that you can not shelter children from, I personally do my best to keep mine in check on message boards (being a tradesman you can only imagine the foulness I am capable of), chat rooms, and even Email.

So on this one Yrgal, im sorry but you have absolutely no justification for adding it.

Anyway, I think I have been as clear as I can be, and I do not mean to offend you, you are one of the people I have come to respect here on these boards, I simply disagree with what you have pointed out.

Image for logon is normal bitmap ( 16 color-4 bit is for bootskins ), when browse and select new image it replaces
old image as parts of logon are titled Bitmap_100.bmp, 102,103 etc. Each number for certain part of logon. It is
a new logon, new preview shows in Logon Studio.
You are correct that as long as for personal use you can use any image and any logon and do what you want with them.

here you may get a "Run-time 53" error

If you are getting this error you are doing something wrong, or logon used is not correct, .ini problem.

purchase the pro version of Log-on studio, then you can create log-ons out of pretty much anything you want

I have free version and can use anything I want as long as convert to bitmap first.

Thanks Cavan, I could swear I have read in some "tut" somewhere that the image used had to be the same format as the boot..
So in that regard, the info is wrong..
Ok..

I had writtin off creating logons with the studio due to following the most basic tut supplied in the help section,to the very letter, and ending up with the Run-time error I mentioned. I simply decided that actually creating a logon must be a feature of the pro ver.
So what did I do??..::laughs:: I made it work for me.."kinda".
Anyway, I will play around with it some more and see if I can determine what the problem is..
But right now I gotta run!

Thanks again for pointing that out,
Zero.

No problem Zero. I am not sure what the run time error is can only suggest to check .ini of one that causes error
against one that does not, you should be able to find error. I have created a few logons to see how it works, and
have edited every logon I have, only thing ever cause error is other language in .ini, false as falsch. This is in
.ini of ones I edit, once correct spelling works fine.
