Custom Windows login/ons?

Do some searching on hacking uxthemes.dll. I'd avoid any installed theme managers and do it by hand. I have seen some screwey stuff with window blinds and their ilk.

I used to use different boot screens until I upgraded to SP2, when the process to use them changed slightly I think. That or SP2's install just replaced everything with the original files.

Here are some links about modifying your own.

You can download premodified bootscreens from places like wincustomize I think.

As for the login screen, I've changed it too, but I forget the process and what links I read.
 
I don't like using custom welcome screens or boot screens because when there is a problem (common) it's very tough to undo. Use the recovery console to change the uxtheme.dll file to a hacked version, and then you can use Visual Styles with no added software.
