bitmaps in 8-bit!

The bitmaps are stored in the file windows\system32\logonui.exe 

Customize "Log Off" and "Turn off Computer" buttons and backgrounds

   
 msgina.dll  -  the background, logo and buttons for the dialog shown when hitting "Turn Off Computer" can be found in msgina.dll 20142, 20143, 20150. Make sure to use the original palette of the various bmp files - use Photoshop Mode/Color Table/Save to save them.  Do NOT EDIT the existing bitmap in Photoshop using the Hue and Saturation adjustment - this changes the 256-color palette !!  Also, you cannot use 24-bit color for these bitmaps !!
   
 shell32.dll  -  the background, logo and buttons for the dialog shown when hitting "Log Off" can be found in shell32.dll (bitmap 14354, 14355, 14356). Make sure to use the original palette of the various bmp files - use Photoshop Mode/Color Table/Save to save them.  Do NOT EDIT the existing bitmap in Photoshop using the Hue and Saturation adjustment - this changes the 256-color palette !!  Also, you cannot use 24-bit color for these bitmaps !!  The file is locked so you will need to reboot with a Win98 diskette and copy the file or hack the reg to point to a new file such as shell32-2.dll.  Changes will only show up after a restart.
    Then, some programs are available to get some work done. Logon Loader helps you switch themes easily, and Stardock noticed they fell behind and created LogonStudio. This one is in beta and helps you compile your own theme (note, don't trust it to import manually crafted themes yet).
