Very interesting.

However, I would again stress that in order for your alternative background colour to
be displayed, the value for "Wallpaper" must be set to either "" or "none" .

i.e. :

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="none"

Simply locate this value in the registry using [regedit.exe]
and change it to what you want.

The original value in XP for this is the word "none" which
makes Windows display just the light-blue background to the
welcome screen with no writing.


( I don't use 'Welcome Screen' ("LogonType"=dword:00000000) )

When i don't specify a wallpaper picture as background at the logon window, i
sometimes get tired of having the background light-blue and after backing up the
key, i change the value of:

[HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon]
"Background"="64 32 128"
; (Purple background)
; "Background"="37 133 39" (Green background)
