Feature request: Clean password screen

[kwondra34]

Hey Rejetto.

This would be small but probably easy to do and would be, in my opinion, a nice touch.
If the server was using a username and password, have a clean welcome screen per se
as an index.html or something (however you want to do that) and a nice clean color scheme
with a box to type a password. (instead the form that comes up now for a username and password)

What do others think about this, may have been requested but didnt see it from a rejetto forums search.

Thanks

It's been done before, but there is no way to stop the default login popup, so we just made a login screen with a button.

You have to give the server the username and password via a form and some javascript, i'm trying to find it now but not having much luck.

Good to hear you guys never sleep, please do look. would be grand.

Minus the vista background, here is the basic idea I was thinking of:


If yuo find it please let me know.

Ye we get most stuff done over msn , im sure we can do this maybe not so vista like... but something nice. I remember there is a reason why we didn't do it, guess we'll find it out again cause i cant remember , as for the custom picture i REALLY don't know haha

[kwondra34]

Some nice code for determining the users resolution and changing the size of the picture based on it. Custom wallpapers per resolution would be even better. Same wallpaper but clean resolutions. Code is:

if (screen.height >= 1024 && screen.width >= 1280) {
document.write("<img src='w9.JPG' width=1280 height=1024 border=0>");
}
else {
if (screen.height == 768 && screen.width == 1024) {
document.write("<img src='w9.JPG' width=1024 height=768 border=0>");
}
else {
document.write("<img src='w9.JPG' width=475 height=11 border=0>");
   }
}

thats where it was discussed in the past. i have msged ledufe and then we can see if we can extend on this idea.

the current login system is completely handled by the browser.
indeed, the current login form is issued by the browser when it thinks it should.
though i can receive the user and password via form, i should tell it to the browser, but there's no compatible way (IE doesn't work with this).

unless you find a way to communicate the login data directly to the browser (instead of the server), i fear you will have to wait for completely different authentication system by HFS. and this will not come soon.
