Sorry for the delay because I was supposed to publish this topic three weeks ago but I faced some difficulties.

Let’s go straight to the topic

The idea of creating this tool came to me when I wanted to use multiple logons in windows.
At an early stage I had to modify the registry each time to change the logon, then I created a tool that let me change logons, but soon I was faced by another problem which is I had to modify & compile the tool each time whenever I download a new logon or theme that I want to put in my unattended CD.

But the encouragements of .::Bâchrat the Sneaky::. & Prathapml helped me to modify this tool to integrate new logon or theme in a dynamic & flexible way.

All I hope is that you try this tool and send me as many feedbacks as possible to either my e-m@il : stuntgp2000@hotmail.com or to this thread.

The link to this tool is Here

[prathapml]

Hey dude, looks good - keep up the good work.
This one is compatible with SP2 of XP as well - that's one thing nice about it.

[Stuntgp2000]

Now let me give some explainations about this tool :
1. you have to download your favourits logons & themes (you can find some of them in my website).
2. create thumbnails of them (for better performance thumbnails should be JPG image with a resolution of 145x113 ).
3. run Logons & Visual Styles Script Generator.
4. select your themes & logons with thier thumbnails.
5. you may also customize some infos here and there.
6. click on Generate to create the LOVSC.Ini

After this,
1. copy your Themes & their thumbnails to this location %windir%\resources\Themes if you want to try Logons & Visual Styles Changer, if everything went OK then copy your Themes & their thumbnails to this location $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes in your unattended CD.

2. copy your Logons & their thumbnails to this location %windir%\system32 if you want to try Logons & Visual Styles Changer, if everything went OK then copy your Logons & their thumbnails to this location $OEM$\$$\system32 in your unattended CD.

Note : for those who have downloaded this file "LOVSC with description.INI" from my web site they should redownloaded it again because I found a bug on it and I have corrected it now.

[Stuntgp2000]

Sorry, I found some bugs and I have corrected them .

I also have added some new screenshots and example to test the tools

Enjoy

Superb work, Stuntgp2000!

Didn't know you've already released it

I'll post my results!

[Stuntgp2000]

Hello everyone,

first I want to say thank you for Bâshrat the Sneaky and Prathapml for their help and collaboration.

Second, my website is ready, there you can download the tool and find screenshots and details.

Third, I need a FREE web host or FTP host offering 100MB of space & over 1GB of bandwidth per month and support uploading zips & exes. because the server which hosts my web page gave me only 500MB of bandwidth per month

I wish you enjoy this tool

Logons section is working just fine.

Themes: can't say yet, haven't properly patched my uxtheme.dll yet.

Good work! Works flawless!

@Stuntgp2000 - Hey I don't know if you're interested, but I created a start-up script that automatically generates the LOVSC.INI file with all available logons and themes before running your program. It only requires a few prerequisites in order to work:

1) Just name the THEME thumbnails with the same theme name i.e Luna.theme's thumbnail will be named Luna.jpg

2) All logon exe files must follow the format LGUIXX.exe and the thumbnails get the same name just like with the themes

That's it and for themes or logons that do not yet have a thumbnail, it automatically puts a picture in its place saying "No Thumbnail Available."

Post back if you're interested, I made this script with AutoIt v3 and I'm willing to give you the source code for the exe.

[IceBlackIce]

It seems great...i havent tested it yet, but from the pics ...congratulations.

[Stuntgp2000]

Thank you my friend I was thinking in the same thing today, but I am happy to see it coming from the others.

you can send your tool with it source code to me because I am really interested about your suggestion.

Thank you very much.

[Sourcer]

If you can get me the file i can mirror it for you...and at the end of the month i would glady help you with the web server but hit my quota for this month by hosting omega drivers lol....but i cant get the file off you site cuz its coming down at like 1K

[Stuntgp2000]

OK thank you my friend, I am really facing many problems with this server because it's slow, offering only 50Mbytes to host your files and what's worse is it gives you only 500MB bandwidth per month (I am now at 150 Mbytes of usage).

However, I really need a free host service that give at least 100MB of space, more than 1GB of bandwidth per month, and zip & exe uploading is allowed.

so if anyone know this service, please give it to me because I am really needing it.

thanks in advance

[Stuntgp2000]

I want to thank Prathapml for his valuable help, he gave a link to new web host service that match all I have asked for.

Really, Prathapml, thank you very much, and I want to thank every msfn member for their collaboration & help.

Okay I've attached the program, I can change the icon if you want. I've tested this with your v2.1 program, that sets up nothing and it works fine. Just remember to follow these instructions:

1) All themes must have thumbnail name the same as theme ie Luna.theme needs thumbnail Luna.jpg

2) Logons must use name format of LGUIXX.exe and thumbnails must also have the same name.

3) I've also included an image I use as a thumbnail when the theme or logon doesn't have a thumbnail. Just make sure this script is in the same directory as the LOVSC.exe and the Nothumb.jpg image I've included. Hope you like it
