Does anybody know how to (if it's possible) change the color of the dialog box where you enter your user name and password in the logon screen (not the welcome screen)? i have changed the background/wallpaper and i was wondering if it was possible to set the color of the dialog box to tranparent or if there was a way to hide it or something.

You could change the visual style of the logon screen if thats what you want.

what do you mean by that? i already changed the wallpaper, instead of the blue background i used a picture, what i'm talking about tho, is the dialog box where you enter your name and password to log into your account, is there any way to change the color of the box itself or at least set to transparent ?

Windows is set to use the [windows xp-layout] [Standard (blue)] for the logon screen and the only way to change it is to edit it in the registry

GUIDE:

1. Press the start button and click on run in the run box you need to type regedit

2. In the registryeditor you need to find 2 strings DllName and ColorName which is located under
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]

after you found the strings you have to edit them to the color scheme you want to use:

DllName: The first is DllName you need to change the patch in it to an *.msstyles file most likely it will be located under %systemdrive%\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\*THEME-NAME*\*THEME-NAME*.msstyles

ColorName: If a theme got more than one color scheme you need to change this to the name of the scheme you can find the names in your themes folder in shell there will be a folder named NormalColor thats the name for the standard ColorScheme and all the other folders is the names on the remaining schemes.

Example if you just want to change it the windows standard metallic scheme you only need to change the ColorName to Metallic

')"> Nobody gets what im saying... i dont want to edit the whole login screen, i've already done that. And i'm not talking about the welcome screen either.

When you turn off the welcome screen windows promts  you to a screen with a blue background and a grey dialog box with a blue header. This box is what i want to tweak, i want to either, change the color of the box to transparent or use w/e picture i want or something. now my question is, can this be done and does any one know how?

 

Please e-mail me if you have any ideas.

Because i dont wanna d/l a program just to do that one thing. Besides, i dont wanna tweak the welcome screen, i've said it three times now, i wanna tweak the DIALOG BOX ON THE LOGIN SCREEN, not the welcome screen.....

A simple, clear question and a bunch of off topic answers...
Does anyone understand the above question and has a valid answer for it? Thanks.
