Hard to read user names in Welcome Screen
In the Windows 7 WELCOME SCREEN where you would choose which USER ID to log in with - Windows 7 uses a blue color screen with white text. However, the area where the user names area listed (under the picture for it's user) the coloring of the screen is so white that it is extremely difficult to read the USER NAME. Is there any way to change the color or design for this screen so the USER ID under each User Picture would be a lot easier to read?

Pauliw -Yes...! There is... Here's how to do it: 1. Click Start, type Regedit and press Enter 2. Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background 3. Change value of OEMBackground to 1. 4. Now navigate to %windir%\system32\oobe, create folder info, double click it and create another new folder backgrounds 5. Now place your desired logon file into %windir%\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds 6. Rename the file to backgroundDefault.jpg. (Please NOTE: Images must be less than 256kb in size).
