Hi,

I wrote yet another windows 7 logonUI wallpaper changer
This one is different from the others, because it asks admin rights only the first time you apply a wallpaper (and it also have a very nice 3d/WPF based UI)

Thanks for sharing this. I will be trying this method out with the next build. I thouight that this feature would have been included in the RC but maybe MS is saving it for Windows 8..

Hi,

I will release the source code of my program in a few day, because it still runs slowly on some low end graphic cards and I want to be sure the code is as efficient as possible when I'll release it. WPF is such a resource hog that it is hard to combine cool visual effects with efficiency.

I don't know what feature you could add, but you'll be free to do whatever you want with my source code ;-)

Thanks for the effort in making this little program, shame Microsoft could not implement something so easy to use, great job.

Not sure what's wrong here but I ran it and chose a new pic for my logon screen and it didn't change after a reboot.

Now when I try to run it again I get the "....has stopped working" type popup.
