Windows 7 Logon Background Changer : Customize your welcome screen wallpaper | |
Windows 7 Logon Background Changer is a free open source software that let you change the wallpaper of the Windows 7 logon screen (also known as "welcome screen", "login screen" or LogonUI).It works with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise and Starter, in x86 or x64 (32 or 64 bits). It also works on Windows Server 2008 R2 (but you are not supposed to customize a server).
On a side note, this small program is WPF based, it's a nice technical demo of Windows Presentation Foundation capabilities for those interested in WPF. It requires a decent GPU for the 3D animations to run smoothly. What does it do?

| Your new update caused the program to cut off half the pic. Wish I could go back to the older one. |

| You can still find the version 1.3.4 on softpedia. But I don't understand what you mean by cutting off half the pics? Cropping the picture so there are no black stripes was already a feature implemented in the previous version. |
