For those who want to change their logons on Windows Vista, the first beta of LogonStudio is available for download:

http://storage.stardock.com/files/LogonStudioVista_060a.exe

Uh...kind of a misleading name. Not that I'm unhappy with it, but IMHO it isn't a "studio", which would imply being able to design your own logins with it.

You can use LogonStudio Vista to change the background image and create your own logon. Other features will be added in time, but you can make your own logon.

Nice app!

I have already created a couple of nature based ones that I took last year in Oregon and put them up for your approval.

Cool! thanks for telling.

Thanks Stardock, now the 0.60a beta is expired I can no longer change my login background! I am stuck with this background. Why only let OJECT Desktop people use the 0.70 beta?

know what i did? i turned my clock in windows back to February so the date says February 25th and the old build of logonstudio vista works fine

Hi
Plz Add Link 070 Beta For Download.
thank you

AFAIK it is now only available via Stardock Central with an Object Desktop subscription, current version is 1.00.02

The public release should come soon. Keep watching for updates.

to use beta, just put your pc date a year back, and you can use it.. change back when done using..

Isn't that now discussing warez (where do I get the new version), and circumvention of protection (setting clocks back)?
Both breaking the rules in the forum!

You should restore your background, and uninstall the application

It was just a little hint.

Full Free NON beta is available here, And has been all week >>>

What's up in the new version, yo?

That is not the official release. The new release will be coming along shortly.

Well it looks official and works just fine? I know it may not be final or anything, I just dropped that in cause I happened to visit there to check progress a week or so before seeing that post about how to use the old one, This one installs and works fine no time stuff needs to be done to use it

I love you.
