Has anyone figured out how to get login window to not be distorted?


I cannot claim I figured out anything, but mine is not distorted. I edited copies of the

267.png
and
267@2x.png
files from the
SArtFile.bin
with GIMP, importing another PNG with my screen's dimensions through File → Open as Layers... and then readjusting the image dimensions. It worked on first try, so I did no more fiddling around. I don't know whether editing just one of the files would have been enough.


Before, I also had the problems that after opening the

SArtFile.bin
I got nothing but corrupt PDFs. That was because I had used an outdated version of the SArtFileTool, but it worked fine with the more recent version (for 10.6 and 10.7).
