WOW nice work man.

I will try it and report back to you.

If it goes well I might include it in 7Customizer if you do not mind.

Regards

I am only a newbie but I found out a very simple method to change the boot screen, logon screen and shut down screen.

Just go to this location:

C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds

and place some custom images in jpg format with following name and resolution:

background1024x768

background1280x768

background1280x960

background1280x1024

background1360x768

background1440x900

background1600x1200

background1920x1200

backgroundDefault

If the location is not available in your w7 then make the folders, I did the same and working fine for me.

Here are mine screens:

If someone wish to use those screens.

I am not sure it is allowed to post file hosting links??????????????

If not then I request mods to please remove the link from my post.

I would like to request a manual batch file...

ok I'll see what I can do

Have a look at bsdiff and bspatch, very easy to script resource edits. Then you don't have to upload a 20MB DLL, just the patch.

@nice_guy75

Just back from a VM and my Dll method works better. I mounted and replaced all them images in the oobe\info\backgrounds. It might work if you use the xml I mentioned above.

I've updated my renamed 7background.rar available in my signature down below and with ver 6.1.6 of the Se7en_UA will eliminate 1 more of the default yuck screen's

this was my login with your methods

Ok I got the acutal problem (hopefully), I am on 32 bit and you are on 64 bit. Did you enable the OEM background functionality?????????

Run the registry editor (Win Key + R and then type regedit, press enter)

Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background , double click on key named OEMBackground and change its value to 1 (If you cannot find the path or the key go ahead and create it, remember OEMBackground is a Dword)

Now your OEM Background functionality is enabled.

Here is the registry file from my all black login screens from a few months back.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background]
"OEMBackground"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"UseOEMBackground"=dword:00000001

Where is the file? I cant find the 7background replacer? I tried the link in youre sig, but get only to this same thread? The mediafire links dont work either on top of youre sig?

hey there,

are you talking about the logon screen - or the boot screen?

logon screen: can be changed via registry (i think its mentioned somewehe else)

the bootscreen: are you sure this is a animated graphic (gif or something like that?)

here is stated that the animation is a simple xml file -> link:

not sure, but maybe it helps
