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.

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... :|

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.

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

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

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 :)

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
