Correct size of userpicture, passwordfield and buttons.

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.
Use the background changer of your choice to change the background.
This also changes the look of your winver info as shown in the bottom picture.

The 64 bit files... do they go both in System32 and SysWOW64?
π: 0 β©: 2
64 bits go to system32, you never will use syswow64 for authui!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, there is authui for system32 and syswow64, but you don't care about syswow64, all you must do is place the authui in system32!!
Syswow64 is for 32 bits application and you explorer is x64, so you never will open a 32 bits logon!!

Allright... good to know, thanx!

Yes but please be careful. I hope you have read the warning.Don't try it if you have no installation disk for repair or a backup.

Thanx for your hard work!

Thank you for testing. I'm very glad to hear that it doesn't harm your system.I hate to do things i cannot test myself. I will add you to the description.

No problem, glad to help.
At the same time this helped me understand more of how the authui.dll works

I've added it for you. As well as it is only an example. You can use any userpicture you like.
π: 0 β©: 1
But the picture oversizes like sh*t and looks like sh*t? you cab't add a picture like 173x173 when it self-sizes like over 200x(pix)!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
200 pix is the original size of the windows8 userpicture.The size of the win7 picture is only 123 pix without frame. Because the pic is zoomed it doesn't look so good with low details pictures. Try a better one like the default win7 flower.

This. Looks. Spectacular.
But there is room for improvement, like:
- The new version of Segoe UI in Windows 8, which was designed for Metro.
- Complete Windows 8 UI elements. The buttons, text fields and other elements have been flattened, including the taskbar.
- Metro taskbar orb.

Thanx for your nice comment.
This is a not modded system which is only used to show the winver window. You can see the modded version here[link]

Really nice...
By the way... the 64 bit version, isnΒ΄t that just the same files in both "System32" and "SysWOW64"? Or are the files different?
π: 0 β©: 1
Unfortunately the files are different. Please don't try this if you have a x64 system.It will be unbootable afterwards.
π: 0 β©: 1
Allright... thanx. I look forward to the x64 release!

I will inform you. May last 2 or 3 days.

Ahhh... sweet... I look forward to it!

haha nice Peter, its simple yes but i havent seen any other to make such a thing for windows..this work and others u made are awesome..I was thinking lately to feature yr works on my blog too but i dont know from where to begin to be honest..there are so many..i want to just show some previews, say some things and send the readers directly here on yr dA account to download the files, read the descriptions and anything that comes from you! I ll need a small guide though to organize all this

I've already seen this. I don't really care about it. He simply uses another way to apply it. But this will not work with this deviation.

And not forget to say that basebrd is only for english users, for other languages: you must change the basebrd.mui!!
π: 0 β©: 1
I use this on my german system without any probs. Which prolems do you face with your french one?
Or simply extract these few bmps and replace the ones in your basebrd.dll. Work of 5 minutes.
π: 0 β©: 1
no in french we must replace the bmp in basebrd.mui, i think that in german the text is in english also, so it not must be changed in mui!
