Would it be easy to translate it in another language? :blush:

In a word, yes. You can either do it yourself by editing the string resources in the executable (they are still in the same locations as the standard logonui). Alternatively send me a copy of the standard logonui.exe in your language and I'll set up a resource file to convert my logonui to your language.

can't believe you no one reported it.

Try to use Large Fonts or Extra Large Fonts.... it will look like crap. Gonna fix it asap.

Most likely because almost no one uses Large and Extra Large Fonts.

Yeah probably. Well I never used it before, but I switched from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 a couple of days ago and the small letters started to annoy me.

So I tried Large Fonts and it sucked, the whole captionbar was screwed up. Anyways, I got it fixed now so I will release a new version this week.

why emulate, use the real thing

Ok please don't make such useless comments. Not everybody wishes to use Linux. I like Windows a lot and I will use it because of that. Though BlueCurve looks sooo sweet, so that's why I ported it. I'm not the only one who likes the look of Red Hat but don't want to use it.

I dont like compact start menu like that. Sorry

ThemeNorth did you translate your login with the logonui I provided to you?

I still keep the old ones.... so there is always a choice.

Ah cool... not a big fan of the compact start menus either to be honest, so having the choice is fine with me :)

Sheesh Schmoove.. it must be difficult to keep everyone happy! :)

OK, added a French string table to the Logon UI. I can't actually test this (not having a french copy of windows installed).

Same link as before (Download - GetSkinned)

Let me know if it works...

How's this??

Looks better than the old start menu, more Linux like. I think it would look even better with the red bar on the right side removed, it just doesn't look right with it. Check the attached file, I made a mockup of what I mean. I was going to make a new start menu, but Stylebuilder gives me a headache. :D

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
