Logonui.exe

Antar Bolaeisk · 22 Dec 2007 at 20:59

Hey guys, was wondering if any of you know what type of code is used in the file logonui.exe as I'm mucking around with it but would like to do some background research as I feel like I'm pushing buttons in the dark.

My best guess would be some format of Visual Basic? But I don't really know.

Also, I realise that I'm not really allowed to mess around with this under the End-User agreement thing but I'm not looking for help with that as such so please don't shut down this thread.

Thanks,
Antar.

What exactly are you getting at? what do you want to do?

It's an exe, so it's in machine code. As above, what are you trying to do?

An EXE doesnt automatically mean machine code. Most likely in this case, but exe could be IL or java version etc?

Machine code or byte code, we're picking at hairs here

Just to change it about a bit. I know I can download third party software to do it but I wouldn't exactly be learning anything by doing that.

Here's a sample;

<style resid=framess>
element
{
background: argb(0,0,0,0);
}
element [id=atom(contentcontainer)]
{
background: rgb(0,0,0);
}
button
{
background: rcbmp(112,6,#FF00FF,0,0,1,0);
borderthickness: rect(8,8,0,8);
}
</style>

You can use a program called Reshacker to have a look into the file and it's in the ui folder.

If it helps any this is the file that controls the appearance of the Welcome screen in Windows XP. Guess I really should have said this at the beginning, though I did but obviously didn't.

Mine now looks like this:

It's not finished yet obviously.

Looks like a non-standard form of CSS...
