Publisher's description of LogonStudio

From Stardock:

LogonStudio is a free program that allows users to change their Windows XP logon screens. It comes with several logon screens to choose from, along with thousands that are available online from Web sites, such as WinCustomize.com. It also includes an editor for creating your own logon screen.

Editor's review of LogonStudio

3.0 stars

Longing for some change in your life? Why not start with that boring old Windows XP logon screen? With the freeware LogonStudio, choosing another screen is a matter of two clicks. Alternately, you can design your own with a built-in editor.

The first option is a lot easier. About 30 cool screens are available on the WinCustomize site, and the program can randomly select one on every boot. Editing is less straightforward. You build or modify logon screens by tweaking parameters on a lengthy list of elements. So you might, for instance, change the FirstColor parameter of the Centre Panel element to a new shade of blue. This allows you to customize everything from background to letterings to buttons, but beginners will find the process quite confusing. The sketchy online help isn't much assistance, either.

LogonStudio is best for users familiar with programming languages such as Visual Basic, whose development tools use a similar interface.

"Makes the logon screen look amazing"

by afrobat on April 24, 2005

Pros: with thousands of logon skins to choose from, you are bound to find one that you like or one that will match your computer's theme. The program is extremely easy to use and intuitive and will take 10 seconds to get your logon screen set up

Cons: none. If anyone finds a program that can change the tune after logon, please tell me.
