Thanks to for the hint.

Background and userpicture in the pack.

Be careful what you are doing. I'm not responsible for any damage of your system. Don't try it if you are not an experienced user and if you have no installation disc to repair your system if somethings going wrong.

This also changes the look of your CAD (Ctrl+Alt+Del) screen as shown in the bottom picture.

It is not possible to upgrade from the green version only by changing the background. You have to change the systemfiles again.

No rereleases of modified versions or use in transformationpacks allowed without permission.

Windows XP version added. Cannot leave XP without support. Little bugfix on the Win7 versions.

Black version here[link]
Green version here[link]

Thanx for the link. I've downloaded it, and will check it again.I'm a little bit oldfashioned, and do such jobs manually all the time.

I tried Logonstudio for three days, and here is my review.It works better than i thought.It's a great alternative for not so experienced users.Only it has the same prob as nearly all this logon editors. There's no option to undo the registry changes it makes. It's pretty damn hard to get rid of them. For customisers not recommended. Very good work any ways.

Thank you Paras. If you wanna use it, you cannot upgrade from the green one by changing the background. The systemfiles must be changed too.I've made some changes on the UI files to make it look better.

Oh..Ok. Thanks for the information

Np. Maybe i should write in the description that the green version and this one are not compatible.I've changed to much and this would surely cause some probs.
