- I'm frankly astonished by how many people were interested
- enough in login panel tiffs to ftp my collection. It seems
- to interest a lot of people. That being the case
- (apparently), I guess some feedback on these would be of
- interest to me.
-
- From a design point of view, the greatest limitations of the
- present regime are that the loginwindow.app does not
- recognize alpha (anyone know why?) and that the positions of
- the two text windows wrt to the lower left corner are
- constants. It seems to me these four numbers could as well
- be accessible in the defaults database.
-
- At a minimum, NeXT could make the full source of the app
- available; if one had access to that, diddling the nib
- should be an easy matter. I realize that invites some
- obvious perils, but they are hardly greater than many others
- lurking about on any Unix machine. What's a few anguished
- cries for help, more or less, among friends?
