I'll make log off and switch user bitmaps but the only problem is that you'd also have to edit the 'dialog' resource in shell32.dll and that might be considerably more difficult to do for some people than just replacing a system file. I don't want to feel responsible when people nuke their pc's. I've thought about making a patch file that'll do it for you but I don't have the time to look into it right now. For now feel free to use the bitmaps aitf311 posted and I can't stress enough to be careful when replacing or modifying your system files.

Thanks guys, and to reiterate - Red and possibly Black color schemes coming in the next update, along with Ergonomic of course. No idea when it'll be ready so I won't even mention any dates. :p

I just noticed that Bose made a msgina.dll for his VS and he has both log on dialog and the shut down one so are you sure we are going to have to replace files in shell32.dll?

You do, I've edited the shell32.dll, purely by inserting the BMP's from the MSGINA.DLL into it (after modding the button BMP by removing bottom 4 buttons).

Easy to do with Resource Hacker, using Replace resource...

Can you please give a step by step on how to change the bmps?

Giga, can you make the bmps (ergo please) so we can change them ourselves?

thanks both

I dont think there were any updates to the file.  Just scroll down and check.

Giga, Im begging you to make the log off dialog in all the colors or atleast the blue and ergo.

Aw, come on. Green is sweet! :D

BTW, giga. How did you take the text off from next to Log Off and Shutdown? I don't like it with text. :p

And that is the updated version on the front page. Ergo isn't out yet and all bugs aren't fixed yet for final release. If it was, I would be notified of it since I am a beta tester (unless giga is being seriously ****-ass lazy :shifty::happy:).

I never said there was an update. :s Fine guys I'll make the log off bitmaps but be warned you must also edit a few of the 'dialog' resources in shell32.dll for it to look right. Sorry but you're on your own this time, look at the 'dialog' resources in my msgina.dll to see what values I changed. I'll post the bitmaps later today.

Ok people here are the logoff bitmaps, read the readme before you ask any questions.

jagedEdge: I just deleted the text from the dialog resource thing (it's basically a little window that shows you where buttons and text will be placed and let's you move, add and delete things).

I'm using BeOS icons, search the boards.
