sign in screen with custom background possible ?

Hello.

Since I read Brink's tuto (change sign in background color), I want to believe it's possible to change sign in background with custom picture, like this tutorial (option 3).

I tested this in Windows 8, carefully following warnings (image resolutions), but no effect

Perhaps registry keys or oem picture path given for Windows 7 are wrong in Windows 8 ?


I want to do this :

I don't think Windows 8 home edition has gpedit.msc. So this won't work for those users.

After further research I found this page---

From the page:

There is still currently no way to set a custom wallpaper as the sign in screen background.

Unfortunately, that policy doesn't apply to Windows 8. As Medab posted, there's still currently no known way to set a custom wallpaper as the sign in screen background.
