    Sorry, but no. The size must be under 256KB.

    You could use Paint, or some other image program, to resize the image to make it smaller to reduce it's size though.

    Log On Screen - Change

    Hope this helps some,

    Sorry, but even if you edited imageres.dll, it wouldn't work if the image is over 256KB.
