First off I'd like to say hello to all. The info here is great for customizing many aspects for win 7. That in mind is why I'm choosing to ask this here. I'm fully aware of how to change the background of the logon screen however, I'd like to change the little blue ring animation. I'm familiar with resource hacker and restorator but haven't been able to find where this animation is stored to make the desired change. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.:) Edit: just to clarify. I DO NOT mean the boot animation.

I'm looking to change the small animation that displays while logging in/out. The one that looks like that busy cursor. After quite a bit of digging i finally found it! The 'cylon eye' as it turns out MS calls it is stored in the 'imageres.dll' and called from the 'authui.dll'. I've come across all sorts of goodies for ripe for customizing in the latter of the two. Everything from the images that make up the user image frames to the little green selection arrows for the ctrl+alt+del menu and even the image that makes the blue shine for mouse-over the user icons.

Every image previously thought to be uneditable (or at least i was beginning to think) is neatly tucked away in here. It's rather late at the moment so I'm off to sleep but i will begin my modding of the authui.dll tomorrow and report back my findings soon.

Hopefully I'll have some fun screenshots of the changes to share. After quite a bit of digging i finally found it!

Run BioniX Desktop Wallpaper Animator, as I do every startup, to start the.gif running. A small window popped up whenever I tried to select the fire.gif to use, saying 'Please Update'.

I'v run startup repair and then windows starts normally. But when 'Starting Windows', 'Welcome', 'Logging out' or 'Shutting down' texts appear, that little green loading (spinning). General Discussion I tried resizing an jpg with Paint to use it as logon screen and before to save it a message showed saying that i will lose the transparency of the file but I save it and applied anyway. My mistake cause since then, whatever I tried, I can't restore or replace that ugly thing that I created.
