I was wondering if someone would help me customize the login panel...I tried doing it with Interface Builder but many things elude me. It's not as easy as it was with 10.1

Thanks

How exactly do you want to customise the login panel?
Re-arrange the interface? Change the background? Hack it to pieces?

How is it not as easy as 10.1?

I'd like to re-arrange the interface to go along with the background pic. The background pic will probably be the loginpanel.tif sized to cover the whole window.

It's not the same as OS 10.1 beacuse when the login window first appears it is longer (higher) than 360 pixels and it gives u 2 options "User" & "Other" which are over a pattern ( would like to make it transparent ) which doesn't go along with the background pic. Once you choose one of the options, the window then resizes to 360. The resizing and pattern are what I'd like to solve. I'd like to stop it from resizing, if possible, and make the pattern transparent instead.

it's the MultipleUsers.nib and all the graphic files are located in SecurityAgent. I know this stuff...I just don't know "Interface Builder" well enough to modify the login panel to how I want to be. But I'll check Resexcellence.com.....though I doubt I'll find anything there.
