    Is it safe to put any user frame in with this program? For example, is there a certain size of frame needed? Can you just put a blank image into there to remove the frame?

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    Nope, you will have to put a perfectly-made user picture bitmap.

    Can you make this work for .pngs? I can't find any bmp sthat work.

    To make it work for .pngs, I will have to recode it in WPF. You can find some bitmaps here: http://www.door2windows.com/forum/topic/18-wind…

  • Robert_lawson2

    I'm not a programmer, does WPF take a lot? The frames I found on DevArt are all .png that is why I ask. Thanks for the speedy response.

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    Give me the links of those pngs and I will convert them for you.

    The violet one in particular. Depending on what you have time for. Why not bundle the ones you have posted with the app? Surely they aren't to big.

    I tried changing them from .png to .bmp in gimp but something didn't translate. I was also curious about something a little more radical like flames at the top or drips or ripples at the bottom. What are the inside and outside dimensional restrictions? I can't seem to get them to show on the lock workstation screen either. But we use Novell and I'm not sure if that is causing extra issues.

  • Robert_lawson2

    Did that get what you needed?

  • http://www.door2windows.com/ Kishan Bagaria

    The user picture bitmap that this program requires needs to be 50×50 and the alpha channel should also be there.

  • Robert_lawson2

    What can I do to help? What are you missing?

  • 2ebony6

    cool

  • Khaniu

    Is it possible to change the frame from the “Log on” screen picture???

    Thanks

    has a simple solution, like this one, been rendered to change the logon-on window frame?  The blue glass frame looks awful with my red, gold, chrome and black logon image :(
