How to change background color of GUI setup screen in XP x64?

[johnhc]

I have found several discussions of changing the GUI setup screen background color but none for x64. At one time in the long past, I found a way to do this but cannot rediscover it and have forgotten. It seems like it was not too bad. I let it go when the results did not look too good. NLite allows blue or black, but I would like to try some more interesting colors. Can some one point me in the right direction? Thanks, John.

I have discovered that using Paint on SETUP_W.BM_, I can change the background color of the GUI setup screen, but only under the following conditions. I must set Black background to No and Classic to Yes in nLite Options. When I do, my HAL9000 GUI billboard (WINNTBBU.DL_) is gone and I get the Classic one instead. This is not what I want, so unless I hear from someone, my efforts are ended. No matter what I do, I do no not get my altered background on first boot after setup finishes. I would also like to hear from someone if this can be changed. Enjoy, John.
