Is there a way to change and customize the background of the login screen? The plain color is ok, but I would like to change it. Thanks.

I tried Stardocks Vistalogin Modifier and that does work.

I think this is due to the way Win2k8 loads the login screen compared to Vista. They are close, but i have already seen somethings that have got me asking questions. I will look into the files used for both Vista and Win2k8 to see why this may be.

Tried changing it too some time ago, but if you open the file imageres.dll from 2008 server with Microsoft Visual Studio you will find the Vista Logon wallpapers, but the Server 2008 screen isn't there... :roll:
