Just a quick suggestion; try using ResBuild from TGT Soft (assuming you're not already). After opening the file you can simply edit the uifiles in notepad (and so on in) - they'll be in a temp subdirectory wherever you installed resbuild (empty it before opening a different file to clear out any old stuff). Hit save on the toolbar in Resbuild - job done.

I know that... I did use ResBuilder. Though it's just a matter of not getting it the way I want it to be. The thing is that I'm busy with other things at the moment so, time and motivation are a bit of a problem right now.

If somebody really really wants it I suggest that they give it a shot themselves. It is not hard at all, but you gotta put some time into it to make it look the way you want.

I didn't succeed because of many reasons (time, motivation, problems with my pc.... you name it.), though somebody else might do it in a couple of days.

I'd say, take the challenge :)

is this the end?

Of what? The my attempt to make a login? Yes....

The end of BlueCurve? No.

I'm working on an orange theme at the moment for example.

BlueCurve Logon UI

Just a quick Logon UI I've put together based on the one I created to complement my Metallic Shades VS.

Installation

- Extract the executable from the archive to 'WINDIR\System32' (where WINDIR is the name of your windows directory).

- Open Regedit and navigate to the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon' key.

- Change the value of the 'UIHost' string to the name of the Logon UI executable (LogonUIBlueCurve.exe in this case).

Enjoy...

I could post a Red Hat 9.0 logon screenshot, but my internet at home is down.... for 3 days now, it's getting kinda annoying. Home my ISP can fix it soon.

Well ThemeNorth, your login looks SWEET!!! Though it is not really Red Hat, but I do like it.

I rather see a nice Red Hat 9.0 clone (which is what I was working on actually), but this will do too.

Thanks man!!! :)

Red Hat Logon UI

Logon UI for Windows based on that used in Red Hat Linux.

This is not a direct clone, nor does it attempt to be. This is due to operating system differences and in the interests of maintaining full functionality and resolution independence (not to mention artistic license!).

I've attached a screenshot but you'll have to take my word for it that somehow it looks better in use. All resolutions are supported but it is optimized for 1600 by 1200.

Installation

- Extract the executable from the archive to 'WINDIR\System32' (where WINDIR is the name of your windows directory).

- Open Regedit and navigate to the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon' key.

- Change the value of the 'UIHost' string to the name of the Logon UI executable (LogonUIRH.exe in this case).

Enjoy...
