What LogonStudio Vista Does

By applying a 'logon' to one's desktop, you can change the appearance of your computer when you first turn it on and are preparing to sign into it. The logon applied will appear whenever the computer is locked or logged off.

How to Use LogonStudio Vista

The Basics

To load a logon, double click any of the built-in logon screens to use backgrounds that are already loaded on your computer in order to apply the skin. Alternatively, you can single click the one you would like to choose and then click 'Apply' in the lower right hand corner. The built-in logon screens' wallpapers are located at C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper.

Creating & Exporting Logons

Creating a logon in LogonStudio Vista.
In order to create your own logon, click 'Create a new logon'. Give your logon a name, supply your own name as well as a wallpaper, and your new logon will appear in the 'My logon screens' in the application window.

In order to export logons, select the logon that you would like to export and choose 'Export logon package'. This will create a .logonvista file that you can upload to WinCustomize. Please ensure that you have permission from the wallpaper's author if it is not your own before you upload it.
