Post your Start-up screen

[Barman58]

With Microsoft's new open attitude to customization :sarc:, well the start-up screen anyway, I was just wondering what everyone's using

My current one to start things off ....

Well done. You had me scratching my head there for a while. LOL

Of course you can't take a screenshot unless you've got 7 in VMWare ... or a camera fone.

Until I find a better image for the laptop.

The home image is a different story - I decided to *not* use a TDK image and went with something a little more conventional....but it is not exactly PG

You can upload the .jpg from the %windir%\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds like I did - of course it doesn't show the actual log on, but still....

Considering the printscreen button doesn't work from the login screen...is there a way to get a picture of it without using a camera?

Kind of seems like it would kill the point. *shrugs*

Well, since I am running Win7 as a live OS and not in a VM, it's kinda hard to grab a pic without a camera - and the only camera I have is a crappy cellphone camera - so, I'll just upload the image and you can imagine the login box.

That's nice. Where'd you get that image?

This is mine, just modified standard windows 7 Logon screen. Changed the colors and brightness towards my preferences .

Good idea, Napi - I think I'll do that to match my theme color combos as well....

My favorite color to use on a black bg is rgb:158:180:255 - I'll try adjusting that image to match that color more and see if I can get a nicer default login....

 

[Barman58]

Here's one for members who run a dark scheme

 

[johngalt]

lol - with this BG and my idea of the baby blue color, I could have a field day with this....

Thanks for the attachment....

XD hope it works out for you! Mine was originally darker as well, but I was having trouble getting the gradients to look right and was short on time . Hue/saturation change alone would have too many artifacts. If you fix it up could you post it here please? I would be much appreciated =]

I honestly think the overall design of the logon screen is quite good, and I think it fits Seven's feel much more than the whole Vista aurora thing. Its just their choice of colors and their brightness was bad, although they are fixing it for the more recent builds apparently(insert your build 7068 disk or start the setup file, you will see the BG was edited and made significantly darker).

On a side Note, am I the only one who thought Vista's default aurora colors were horrendous? I love the green/blue combo, but it just didn't work out in vista for me IDK
