Questions about logonstudio vista

from Stardock Forums

Does LogonStudio for Vista not support random changing of logonscreens because of a limitaion of Vista, or because the developers haven't gotten around to it yet? I know the XP version did support random changes, so I am curious why the difference? Also, I see a built in editor being mentioned, but I see no such thing in the Vista version, again is that because of a limitation with Vista, or just a developer thing?

 

Thanks!

Built in editor "last time i used" logonstudio for vista was in the program its self. You just selected a picture and it made it for you. Thats the editor. Where it says "Create". It just pops a window up and asks for a name, then you browse for an image. Theres your built in editor.

Sorry, I meant in xp. Used that before Vista. There was a way of moving the box with user photos around the image. If memory serves me correctly you could also change fonts and the like. It also seems there was a random switcher in the xp version too.

I haven't felt the need to change my logons for awhile and started doing so. Sure the gui for the Vista LogonStudio is really nice, but there is really no features. A really big disappointment. But of course, some things don't work with Vista, because. . . . well - it's Vista. I would just like to know if that is the case with logonstudio, or is that a lack of developer interest?
