[edit] available wallpapers
lmf-wallpaper-[X]_[Y]-blank
w/o text
lmf-wallpaper-[X]_[Y]-startup
for Windows start-up/log-on screen
lmf-wallpaper-[X]_[Y]
with "log off" message
- [X]_[Y] = the actual screen resolution; for best visibility, choose the correct one for each individual system! see down below
- Which resolutions for which screen combination? Here is a small guideline, but check the actual resolution at the system!
- 30" wide-screen: 2560_1600
- 24" wide-screen: 1920_1080
- 20" wide-screen: 1680_1050
- dual 20" wide-screen: 1680_1050 / 3360_1050
- 20": 1600_1200
- dual 20": 1600_1200 / 3200_1200
- 19": 1280_1024
- dual 19": 1280_1024 / 2560_1024
- note: the second options for dual configurations (after the /) might be necessary in some cases where the background is not doubled, but stretched over two screens
[edit] general layout scheme for lmf windows-driven computers
- for administrator account, choose Windows XP
- for lmf user account, take lmf-wallpaper-[X]_[Y]
- for the Windows log-on/start-up screen, use lmf-wallpaper-[X]_[Y]-startup
[edit] get the wallpaper files
- log in as administrator
- connect to the LMF fileserver
- copy all the *.bmp files in the "wallpaper" folder to "C:\Windows" - done!
[edit] set up the wallpaper for the start-up screen
- log in as administrator
- right-click on a free area of the desktop
- select "Properties"
- check the screen resolution in the tab "Settings"
- click "OK"
- open the registry: click "Start" > select "Run..." > type "regedit" > click "OK"
- go to the path: HKEY_USERS > .DEFAULT > Control Panel > Desktop
- double-click "Wallpaper" and enter "C:\Windows\lmf-wallpaper-[screen resolution]-startup.bmp"
- check that the value down below ("WallpaperStyle") is "2"
- close the registry, log off - done!
[edit] set up the wallpaper for "lmf user" account
- log in as "lmf user"
- right-click on a free area of the desktop
- select "Properties"
- check the screen resolution in the tab "Settings"
- select the tab "Desktop"
- scroll down the wallpaper list until you find one which is called "lmf-wallpaper-[screen resolution].bmp"
- click "OK" - done!
[edit] troubleshooting
- wallpaper is stretched in an ugly way
- the wallpaper does not fit the screen resolution; select a wallpaper that fits
- two-screen configurations might require an extra-wide version (same resolution in Y, double in X)
- folder "C:\Windows" does not exist
- use "C:\WINNT" on older Windows 2000 systems
- the setting in the registry seems to have no effect, the start-up background still looks standard
- make sure you got the registry path right; there are several one, but only one for the start-up screen
- the setting only applies if the welcome screen is activated: go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users..., here deactivate "Use the welcome screen"
(take care: this changes the way users have to log in to the older Windows 2000 style, meaning they have to type in "lmf user" and the password in a dialog)
