Windows 8 Setting an image on the login screen

1

1

In Windows 8.1 when you log in there's the prelogin screen that has an image you can change, but then there's also the login (password entry) screen that as far as I can see is just a solid color.

How could I replace that with an actual picture? (ie, if I wanted a company logo to be displayed in the large space underneath the password entry box.

You can't replace the logon background. This Windows 7 feature was removed in Windows 8. You can only change the background picture of the Lockscren (the useless thing before).

This is true. I don't like this either. I am using Windows 8.1 Pro with Update 1 and latest updates. I hope they change this in Windows 10. You know how you can make the Start screen transparent? The option "show my desktop background on Start" from Taskbar properties? I would love to see some transparency like that on the logon screen. – Samir – 2014-10-07T18:58:36.073

@sammyg this is not possible. – magicandre1981 – 2014-10-08T03:55:53.843

Tell me something I don't know. I was just saying it would be nice to have transparency on login screen; not saying it's possible. – Samir – 2014-10-08T10:47:14.047
