The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

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!
