This might sound silly but how do you change the logon screen background color? (the screen that lists all of the user accounts)

[MagicAndre1981]

Open regedit, go to

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\

create a DWORD (32 Bit) with the name DefaultColorSet and next set a value. 2 = gray.

Here are some values:

Awesome man thanks! That purple was getting to me

Leave it to Andre Ziegler to find cool undocumented reg values using ProcMon. You're amazing, man! Always find your posts helpful.

I wish the horrible ugly logon screen should show an image like the Windows 7/Vista logon screen. That feature is "moved" to the Lock screen.

What is the difference between that and the Start Screen color?

There is now an easy-to-use tool to do this by Winaero thanks to the genius Sergey Tkachenko: Sign In Screen Color Changer

[MagicAndre1981]

I think it sets the same key? Correct?

[xpclient]

Yes the same key. Just a convenient GUI.

xplcient, thanks for "genius", but actually I am not.
My Sign In Screen Color Changer is just several lines of code
