Gör Windows XP bruk ett beställnings- tema för klassikerinloggningen att avskärma
Denna artikel var skriftlig vid vår utmärkta avläsare Leon Steadman.
I en föregående artikel täckte vi hur till skräddarsy inloggningen avskärmer för Windows XP, bara den metod fungerade endast, om du använder stamgästinloggningen avskärmer. Vad om alla folk, som tvingas för att använda den tråkiga klassikerinloggningen, avskärma i stället?
För ämnar av denna artikel, oss antar att du använder en av beställnings- teman för XP, endera officiellt eller inofficiellt.
Kopiera bakgrund avbildar för att logon avskärmer
Du kan kopiera din strömbakgrund avbildar till inloggningen avskärmer den skrivbords- användande tweaken UI. Navigera precis besegrar för att logon \ inställningar på den vänster sidan, att kontrollera boxas för Wallpaper, och att klicka kopiera knäppas nu:
Välj det beställnings- temat för inloggningen avskärmer
För att kopiera det beställnings- temat till inloggningen avskärma, ska vi måste att göra lite gräva och därefter någon registreringsdataintrång.
Gå till %SystemRoot% \ resurser \ teman i utforskare och gå in i mappen av det känt av temat som du önskar att använda på inloggningen avskärmer, e.g., först. %SystemRoot% \ resurser \ teman \ Remixed Royale. Gör en notera av det känt och banan av .msstylesen att spara, e.g. ”Royale Remixed.msstyles”.
Därefter i Regedit gå till HKEY_USERS \ .DEFAULT \ programvara \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ ThemeManager och dubblett-klicka den nyckel- DllNamen. Ändra nu värdera till banan av .msstylesen sparar dig gjorde precis en notera av (var emellertid säker att byta ut ”den C:\Windows” delen - eller, wherever din Windows mapp är - med %SystemRoot%).
Baksida i utforskare, navigerar in i den Shell mappinsidan din temamapp och gör en notera av det känt av mappen av färgaintrigen som du önskar att använda på din inloggning avskärmer, e.g. ”Noir”. NB this may not exactly correspond with the colour scheme listed in the Appearance tab of the Display control panel dialogue, but you can make an educated guess.
E.g. for my theme there are three colour schemes listed in the Appearance tab (Royale, Royale Noir and Royale Zune) and three folders in Explorer (Noir, NormalColor and Zune).
Back in Regedit, double-click the ColorName key and change the value to be the name of the folder you just made a note of retaining capitalisation/spaces etc.
Close Regedit and log off. You should now see that your logon screen has the same theme as your desktop.
The custom theme used in most of the images is called Royale Remixed and can be found at DeviantArt (requires uxtheme patch).

I usually just copy the theme info from HKCU..ThemeManager (current theme settings) to HKU\.Default..ThemeManager. Much easier than guessing/copying scheme names/file paths..
You can also just change you background by setting this key to whatever you want (bmp only)
HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
you can change the default screensaver (pre-login) with this key
HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE
One note on the screensaver is if you are setting it to show pictures you need to put your pictures in
“c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\My Documents”
Good stuff. How about changing the image on the dialogue box (where it says “Microsoft Windows XP Professional” or whatever your version is)?
The folks who are hardcore and want to take it a step further can take a copy of Resource Hacker and do bitmap replacement on msgina.dll (for XP Home, XP Pro users) or winbrand.dll (for TabletPC and MCE) and change the banner logo that appears around the OS.

@krhainos
which one of the bitmap folders in Resource Hacker needs to be changed? I have lots!
@BigGunn
To be completely honest, it’ll be different depending on your edition of Windows. Browse through everything under Bitmap until you find the images that correspond to your edition of Windows. There are a total of three images to make the “hack” possible — two banner logos (msginal.dll Bitmap resources #101 and #107 for me), and a strip of color that scrolls for activity (blue and orange in XP, #103)
I believe the images need to be 256-color (8-bit color), and you should stick to the original dimensions — pay attention! Despite two banners looking the same, one’s taller than the other. I don’t remember if i had to tinker with the Dialog resources to make larger images possible. Backup and explore!
Keep in mind, a ruined msgina.dll will result in Windows throwing up an error instead of the login screen, and you’ll be stuck in a reboot loop. So be prepared to have a way to replace the original file without booting Windows (a live CD or console would work)
Nice one, thanks. i saw at my local school had done this and i have spent years trying to find out how to change this. once again, thank you!!!!!!!!
I made the logon screen saver open up explorer.exe and then then I log off wait 20 min and explorer.exe pops up then I go to Control Panel and set my background and style.
After changing the theme to Vista’s style the font displayed when the logon screen is displayed is the same as the XP Luna theme it is white and the background is black just like the theme (VISTARTM Theme). How do I make the Segoe UI font appear on the logon screen.
How can I take a snapshot of how it looks like so I could get some assistance?
I cant find the folder in the registry!What should i do?
