Changing the desktop wallpaper on the logon screen?

[Guest Angel Tsankov]

Hello,

 

How can I change the desktop wallpaper on the logon screen that appears when

connecting to a terminal server? By default, it is grey and makes the

desktop wallpaper on the console logon screen grey, too.

First, make sure the image is in 24-bit BMP format and is stored in the

common wallpaper directory "/WinNT/Web/Wallpaper/logon.bmp".

"/WinNT/logon.bmp" is fine too.

 

Setup this wallpaper in your profile as it should look. (Tiled, Streched,

....)

 

Open the registry editor and copy the three values "Wallpaper",

"WallpaperStyle" and "TileWallpaper" from "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control

Panel/Desktop" (your profile) to the same values in the key

"HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop" (System Profile).

 

Logoff and logon /wo username so the logon prompt is shown.

Does not help: the wallpaper of the logon screen is still grey.

You did set the RDP-experiences, that wallpaper is enabled?

Yes, I did. Maybe I should approach the problem from another direction: is

there a way to change the background color of the console logon screen?

System profile colors are at "HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Colors".

Your profile colors are at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Colors", same

thing. There

must be the value "Background". The three intergers are the color components

in "REG GREEN BLUE" from 0-255.

Obviously, the "Background" value is what I was looking for: setting it to

"0 0 0" changed the wallpaper from grey to black. Thanks.

Oh, is this documented somewhere?
