Sign in Screen - Change Background Color in Windows 8

[Brink]

Hello Balubeto,

That's correct. You would use OPTION TWO for Windows 8.1 Update as well.

Where can I find a table showing all the color hexadecimal values applicable to the StartColor and DefaultStartColor items?

Thanks

Bye

Hello Balubeto,

Step 1 in OPTION TWO will allow you to see all the available colors, and be able to select one to see it's value to enter later for that color.

This method of finding the hexagesimal values ​​of the Windows color is too basic.

By chance, there is a Windows color table where, beside each color, the corresponding value is displayed in hex?

Thanks

Bye

There is below, but I've found it to just be to unreliable for this, and is why I opted for the method in step 1 instead since is 100% reliable and has just about as many color choices.

• Colors by Hue
• Colors by Lightness
• Colors by Name
• Colors by Saturation

Hello Lord Mada, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Sorry, but no. That's what the lock screen is for instead now.

You could try the 'Picture Password' option:

When I turn on the computer, while win8 is signing in (I have it set to no password), the background will go something like Grey-Blue-Grey. I used your tutorial to set it as Blue, but it's getting flashed out by the grey color I have set for other things.

Hey Jag,

When you sign out, does it show the color you set for your account when it only has your user account on the sign in screen?

 

[jagwar]

I don't think so, I think the color sequence happens with my account logo on screen, il go check
yes im right

 

[jagwar]

sequence of events

Computer Running>Sign out(Signing out page is grey background)>Lock screen>Account logo with blue background>Press on logo> grey background

That sounds proper.
It may flash the first grey because of the last user sign in.

Ok, so you set the default sign in screen (all users) to be gray, and your sign in screen (only your account picture) to be blue.

I'll go record it, I set my account "color" thing as grey. Sign in background blue.

I restarted my computer, I guess I was a bit off and it seems to be completely grey with a flash or two?

Is it working properly now?

No, I'd like for it to be blue all the way through.

 

[Brink]

In that case, double check that you have blue set in both tutorials below to see if that does it for you.
