Logon screen default theme...

[Gianmarco79]

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to define the theme used at logon screen ?

I tried to use the different [shell] winnt.sif entries but still I have the luna theme applied before I logon to Windows

Thanks

[Gianmarco79]

By the way I don't want to customize it...I just would like the logon window to have the Classic Windows Theme look that's it !

Anyone aware how to do that ??

[phaeton]

It's not actually a theme. It is just a registry entry

;Disable Welcome Screen and uses Classic Logon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"LogonType"=dword:00000000

[Gianmarco79]

I know this tweak but it only sets which type of logon you want to use...Welcome screen or window.

I am already using this registry entry but it does not define the "look" of the window so the title bar is still looking like the luna theme...I don't know if my explanation is clear ??

Use this tweak. Export the right value for Dllname from registry.

The "Dllname" showed here is: %SystemRoot%\Resources\themes\WURPSDark\WURPSDark.msstyles

This is quite satisfactory for me in WINNT.SIF under WinXP-Pro-SP2:

[Shell]
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
DefaultThemesOff = Yes

wow, thanks!

[Gianmarco79]

Thanks hp38guser for you tweak but how can I apply it to the Windows Classic theme as there is no msstyles file associed to it ??

[Gianmarco79]

This is quite satisfactory for me in WINNT.SIF under WinXP-Pro-SP2:

[Shell]
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
DefaultThemesOff = Yes

This does not apply to the logon screen...I already tried it but thanks anyway

make it invalid. If it can't find the theme or load a theme, XP usually defaults to classic theme.

Well, can I change also "Default Windows Blue" background color with the RegTweaks by @hp38guser?

And can I usa also a *.theme file instead of a .msstyle?
