Cant set some wallpaper for LoginUI...

[Clannad_92]

hey all~
i think that all of you know how to change the background for LoginUI, right?

so i wanna ask something...
why i cant set some of my wallpaper?

[vuzedome]

Why don't you just use the free one from Stardock?

[jevitsj]

Yeah, LogonStudio from Stardock works really well.

[Clannad_92]

uhhh, i prefer manually than installing some software...
though, if there's no choice...

[vuzedome]

Using LoginUI is still installing something.
The only manual way is to go into the registry and edit stuff.

Very simple if I understand the question correctly.  I don't feel like typing instructions so here: http://www.techspot.com/guides/224-change-logon-screen-windows7/

youre correct, but my problem is why i cant set some wallpaper? I mean, is there any fixed requirement for login wallpaper?

And sorry for misleading topic name...

From what I remember, try making your image smaller than 250KB.

my link said 245KB, but ya that is important it will not work otherwise.

[vuzedome]

I scrolled through the link but I missed the 245KB that was mentioned there.

[Clannad_92]

ohhhhh...must be lower than 245kB, huh?

okay, new question...
how to lower filesize?

(click to show/hide)

yes, i know that this is stupid question

[vuzedome]

Reduce the resolution, that's the fastest way,
And also keep it in jpeg, or convert it to jpeg.

[krumm]

In Photoshop you can set the jpeg quality when you go to save, and it tells you how big the file will be.  You can probably do the same in gimp, but idk.

That was a cool trick. Thx for the tip.
