Login Customization

I am real big into this login screen customization thing, as Darkshadow has shown us (http://homepage.mac.com/darkshadow2/misc/login.jpg) it can be real awesome. I got the Dev Tools, and have tried my best, but can't figure it out. Am I going to have to learn a little C code?

How many of you currently have customized their login screen i.e. changed the background (but not renamed a picture Aqua Blue.jpg), moved around the buttons, added transparency and the such? If you do, how did you figure out how to do it? Links to instruction pages will be greatly appreciated.

I'll post a pic of what my current login screen is so you'll understand how messed up it is now after I played around with it. Again, can someone post thier login.nib file as a .zip in a reply to this post please?

Having a custom screen would be just awesome. Hopefully I could make some Windows dudes around the dorm jealous.
