By popular demand, the DOD logon screen for Windows XP - Page 2

Counter Terrorist Unit

This got me really interested when i saw this thread, so i tried the DOD one and its brilliant, then i found the FBI one, the Counter Terrorist Unit one too. However, the file i found for CTU has some sort of browser plugin embedded into it and you cant install it without being forced to install the browser plugin. Does anyone have the StyleXP file for the CTU logon screen?

The DOD one looks sweet on my PC and on my Alienware M5500.

ya most files will have these addons. You could always install it on an old comp and just copy the file u need to where you want it. That or run a program like spy sweeper to get rid or it

Is there any chance or could you tell me how to do a 1680x1050 version?

I tried the 1920x1200 version you did and it looks good, just slightly unproportional.

Is there a userguide which shows you how to edit existing ones to change the size? Thanks, i can easily make the actual background image in the 1680x1050 size if you want, just dont knoe how to make the stylexp Logon file.

Thanks

How do you get StyleXP to work? Do I really need to pay the money or isn't there a free trial I could use? And I had the same question as mgl since I'm runing 1680 x 1050 as well.

I found a guide on Google. There is a program that lets you extract the images from the login file. I edited the file and put it back in the login file.

StyleXP wouldn't open for me. I downloaded the file from the author's site and installed it, but it wanted a validation code or something even though I thought it said it was a free trial. Anybody help me out here?

Well i did a bit of work and i think i have come up with a result.

Please try these... If they dont work, dont blame me, but they seem ok!

Make sure you backup your original login file. I tried them and they seem ok!

Im hosting them on my own space. I also made a few sizes you might be interested in.

1680x1050

1440x900

1024x768

1280x1024

1600x1200

1920x1200

How do you back up the default windows login scheme? Just save it somewhere else on the hard drive, or put it on CD or something?

You have to do it in Safe Mode. As I said in the first post, unless you use a program like stylexp to do it for you, you run the risk of boning your Windows install if you mess it up.

I am not saying it can't be done; I used to do it before finding Style XP. But I don't want people coming back at me and saying my computer is f'd because of you.

I think if you use StyleXP, It does it for you, or has the option to reset back to default.

I just loaded the 1680x1050 onto my Alienware M5500 Laptop and it works fine!

Where can you get Style XP for free? I downloaded a free version but I really couldn't figure it out. Sorry if it seems I'm stupid, but I'd really like to try this out.

It is not a free program. You can download a time limited trial here: www.tgtsoft.com. It is well worth the cost.
