Download New Windows 8 Blue Login Screen for Windows 7
We love customizing Windows UI and login screen is one of the UI components which we customize a lot. There is no doubt that Windows 7 login screen is the most customizable login screen among all Windows versions because Microsoft introduced 2 built-in Registry tweaks to customize its appearance. One tweak allows you to change its background image as mentioned here and the other tweak allows you to customize shadow and transparency effects for text and buttons present at the login screen.
Apart from using these built-in Registry tweaks, you can also take help of our favorite customization tool Resource Hacker to modify a system file authui.dll to give Windows 7 login screen a full makeover. You can move buttons and labels, you can resize pictures and much more.
There are many people who don’t like modifying system files. That’s why we regularly share ready-made files which can be used to replace existing system files in Windows to customize login screen look. We have shared many such ready-made login screens for Windows 7 in past such as Mac OS X Mountain Lion, Windows 8 RTM and Windows 8 concept login screens.

^ Lol that’s win8 logon only with variant blue color. You can change by yourself
I am not getting User name text box and password text box… HELP??
Just a word of warning:
Installing this can break the User Account Control dialogs, making impossible to change back, you could also destroy your computer. Make a Ubuntu live CD first.
I always had a problem with this and its predecessor. On the Lock Screen, I always get small white boxes at the corners of the Password field.
A picture of said bug while using the current version of the Login Screen can be found here:

Hello, Vishal Gupta,
I tried to install this to compliment my Windows 8 theme for Windows 7 Pro SP1 x86. Funny thing–I took ownership etc. but when I moved the original to my desktop and then copied the 32-bit version of the 8 logon screen it asked for permission. I clicked on Yes and UAC did not load. I restarted my computer and there was just a black screen with a cursor! 🙁 I had to use System Restore on the DELL Restoration Disc! LAME!~ 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
i am not getting the slot to enter password.. nor my user name is visible in this blue one.. while it was on previous color one.. pls help..

^^ You can edit the user pic by modifying the file in Resource Hacker but you cant set it to automatic obtain current user picture as it was not designed to do this.
