Well, I've started learning how to customize my windows xp login screen.  Feeling depressed about not being able to make a decent boot screen (because the maximum colors allowed are 16, making LBT images look horrible), I've decided to try to create a cool windows xp login screen.  How do you like the one I have installed on my computer right now?

The best part is it's easy to install, it's seamless, and it's only 820k in size! :D Any ideas for login screens?  I can do almost anything.

Is there a trick for us to use any image we choose?

No sorry.  That would entail making a program.  I'm just editing the existing windows tls file to customize the login screen.

Well, when I tried to put that LBT login screen on my laptop, which has a much lower resolution than my desktop, the user login text box moved over Littlefoot's face. :x It seems the position of the login text box depends on the screen resolution.  It would seem that I will have to do something like I did for my laptop login screen if I want it to be compatible with all resolutions:

It seems I can't just use an image and call it good.  I'll have to custom make my images in photoshop and the images can only contain a few characters on one side of the image.  I can move the position of the login text box though, so I guess it's not that bad.

Best wishes with that, landbeforetimelover!

I thought that Littlefoot one was good!
