I'm sick of the blue background on the 'select user' screen, i.e. the one where you pick which user to log in as. I want to change the theme to one of the other options individual users have to pick from. I can understand why microsoft haven't bothered to create a gui control for changing it, but surely there must be a way via the registry or something.

I'm failing to find any useful information in google. Has anyone else figured out how to do this?

There are plenty of 3rd part utilities out there. I prefer Tweaks Logon. tweaks.com/software/tweakslogon/

The only problems I've had with it is it sometimes forgets your login wallpaper when you change themes. This is easily fixed by running the utility again and setting your wallpaper.

    • Save $500 on this 16-inch LG Copilot+ PC with Intel processor

      Save $500 on this 16-inch LG Copilot+ PC with Intel processor by Taras Buria These days, Windows laptops are separated into two categories: Copilot+ PCs and pretty much everything else. Copilot+ PCs offer more AI-powered features in Windows 11, some of which are quite useful, like semantic search, Recall, Windows Studio Effects, image editing capabilities, and more. If you are thinking about joining the ranks of Copilot+ PC users, check out this LG gram Pro laptop, which is currently available with a big $500 discount. This big laptop has a 16-inch IPS display with a 2,560 x 1,600 pixels resolution and variable refresh rate support from 31 to 144Hz, which is driven by Intel Arc Graphics. On the processor side, you get the second-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, which qualifies for the Copilot+ PC program thanks to its 47 TOPS neural processing unit (NPU). There is also 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD. Despite its size and performance, the LG gram Pro is very light and thin: only 2.73 lbs and 0.51". Additionally, the laptop offers a FullHD infrared camera with Windows Hello support, a backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7 support, and plenty of ports. The latter includes one HDMI, one headphone jack, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and two USB 4 Gen3x2 Type-C with Thunderbolt 4 support with power delivery and image output. As for the battery, the LG gram Pro 16-inch packs a 77Wh battery, which, according to LG, can last up to 25.5 hours of video playback on a single charge (depending on your workflow, of course). LG gram Pro 16" Copilot+ PCs Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 16GB, 1TB - $1,499.99 | 25% off This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • OpenAI slashes o3 price by 80% in direct challenge to Gemini 2.5 Pro

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI slashes o3 price by 80% in direct challenge to Gemini 2.5 Pro by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, OpenAI released o3, its flagship reasoning model, which delivered state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on several AI benchmarks, including Codeforces, SWE-bench, and MMMU. The o3 model also included support for external tools, such as web browsing, a Python interpreter, and more. Although o3 was the most powerful model available from OpenAI, it was not widely adopted by developers due to its pricing compared to other alternatives. Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model offered nearly the same performance at one-quarter of the cost, while Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 models delivered better coding performance at a similar price. Today, OpenAI is responding to developer feedback by reducing the price of the o3 model by nearly 80%. At launch, the o3 model was priced at $10 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens. As of today, OpenAI is lowering the price to $2 per million input tokens and $8 per million output tokens. This price drop makes o3 a much more attractive option for developers. You can refer to the benchmark comparison table below, which Google published last week during the launch of the Gemini 2.5 Pro June update, to see how OpenAI’s o3 compares with other leading models. In addition to the price reduction, OpenAI is also launching o3 Pro, its new flagship reasoning model, later today. The o3 Pro model is expected to outperform the Gemini 2.5 Pro June update on several key AI benchmarks and may be priced at $10 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
    • TB Header / JTBT1 - MSI MAG Tomahawk

      By Jim K · Posted

      From my understanding.... Thunderbolt isn't like USB ... where you can simply plug a couple of TB ports into the header.  The header itself isn't "Thunderbolt" ... the header connects to the add-on Thunderbolt I/O card for management. I'm sure Nik can better articulate...   ...helpful as always...
