Longhorn Leaf logon

by Cubiz

I was quite suprised to find that no-one had done this before now, so I decided to make it myself :D It took me about 5 days to finally get it right, so I hope you guys enjoy it. It's a combination between the PDC logon and the popular "Longhorn Leaf" wallpaper.

Works with all resolutions, however looks best at 1024x768.

Size: 2,510kb (2.45mb)

includes the Segoe UI font required for the logon.

[Medievil]

[Piepke]

Could you make one for diff resolutions too plz? :blush:

[edgarf28]

nice, thnx!

please, make a 1280x1024 resolution!

[erp]

will that automatically resize if used at a different resolution, or will it refuse to load? (crash?)

Nice work, I like it! :)

[Guest Dan C]

Nice!

Need a 1280x1024 one tho.. :(

[ozgeek]

Nice, but I am not downloading it until it's available from somewhere else than Themexp.org. :)

[Matt T]

actually, I just tried it with other resolutions.... it works fine with a resolution thats 1024x768 or higher just fine. 800x600 or less doesn't work though...

so, I suppose everyone can download it now... I really should have tested it with other res before... :|

@ winxptwker: what's wrong with themexp?

Spyware ads.

@ winxptwker: what's wrong with themexp?

When I install the logon screen, Themexp.org installs some crap spyware on the computer and when I uninstall the spyware, it does not uninstall. I had to use Ad-aware and Spybot SD to completely remove any traces. So I am not going to Themexp.org at all costs.

[erp]

ThemeXP is very bad, they put spyware in the theme installers. I wouldn't download anything from there. It used to be a great site, the new owners ruined it.

Guys, two things about themeXP.

It says the file is wrapped, but it's not the kind that installs spyware. All I got was a link to themexp.org.

If you do get a spyware installer one, just DON'T agree to the spyware terms. It will install everything but the spyware. Like, for example...if it says it's gonna install the lop.com toolbar, there will be a EULA and an "I Agree". You can not check the "I Agree" and it will still unpack the theme for you, minus the spyware. So stop bitching and get his awesome logon screen :p

[Matt T]

Yeah, I've had people from other forums complain when I point them towards ThemeXP. As long as you have a pop-up blocker and spyware removal software, you shouldn't have to many problems. And like o83zero said, you can simply not install the spyware. The only reason I post my work on ThemeXP is because they pay me to post my work on their site, and they also pay for my domain. The new owners did ruin it a bit, but they are really nice guys to do this for their authors.

I really hope that ThemeXP isn't the only reason to why you don't download the logon...

That'd be a shame, your logon is excellent...I just wish it matched better with my Yuna wallpaper. Aside from that, it's great. Maybe do one with a black background, like in 4053? :D

[russellc]

why don't you post it on other sites like deviantart or customize.org so these whiners will stop whining? :p

[Flash]

what if i install this logon on my single user computer that auto signs in at windows start, I would get a white empty box without welcome text or logging off text wouldn't i? :cry:

[Wannes]

thank you. :)

[Hankyone]

sweeet! looking for somthing like this in ages!!

[dreamsINdigital]

Pretty sweet, thanks!

Well, I downloaded it and in the zip file there's a logonui.exe file (with a diff name) so there's nothing to worry about.

Here's how I installed it:

Do a search for "logonui.exe" on your drive (include system and hidden files).

Rename the ones you found to logonui.old (except for the one you downloaded of course)

After a few seconds windows may give you a warning about the replaced files, just choose to keep the modified files.

Copy the new logonui.exe (downloaded) to the folders where you renamed the files (should be System32 and System32\dllcache)

Windows may once again show a warning, choose to use the modified files again.

After that logoff and enjoy the new login screen.

I'm using the longhorn leafs wallpaper as well and it looks great.

For those who realy don't want to donload it from ThemeXP, here's my link to the file:

Flash: Yes you would get what's in the jpg above but withoiut any user names, it will appear for about a second and then proceed to windows desktop.

You can always disable autologin if you wan't to enjoy this login screen :)

Is the "Turn Off Your Computer" just text and not an actual button? Mine doesn't work...

[erp]

I have a question, if I use this and then install service pack 2 when it finally comes out, is it gonna hose my system? I would almost surely forget to change it back.
