CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on January 23, 2009
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.

"it's a great tool to change your login screen."
Pros: I found out about this tool from Greg Shultz's blog, He said you could change the login screen in windows 7 with out using this tool but I could not get it to work. So I downloaded logon studio 1.7 and changed it easally. I think this is great.
Cons: The only fall back with logon studio is, you can not set any of the great pictures as your back ground.
Summary:
There is an XP version at stardock.com

"Quite cool"
Pros: Easy to use, stable, fast, and functional.
Cons: None that I can see.
Summary: I'd recommend it for anyone into customizing their Vista or Windows 7 PC. I just wish that there was a easy way to convert logons made for XP to be functional for Vista and/or Windows 7.

"LogonStudio 1.7"
Pros: LogonStudio 1.7 works very well. It accurately changes the logon picture on my Windows 7 laptop, and works without any trouble. I would use it on all my computers if possible. Highly recommended.
Cons: Not really any cons, but just when you apply the theme I wish it wouldn't lock you, and show you what it did, I wish it had a preview button, or something similar to manually lock the computer and see the changes.
Summary: A great program, easy to use, makes Windows very customizable.
