different login screen (how to?)

hey i wanted to ask if anyone has or know how to change the login scrren to
be a different graphic. i know with xp there were a bunch of programs and
other apps to change the login to have different background image and move
the text box to a different part of the screen.. i never like having a box
stock looking OS so just thought i would ask and i know it might be a lil
earlier for such programs or MS might have blocked us out from that. thanks.

Hello, there is logon studio for vista, beta but this is only for the time
being for paying customers of stardock products, I believe eventually it
will be free just like the XP one is now... you can read about this here:

Keep an eye open at www.stardock.com

Tell me if this helps :-)

I would avoid it if its beta, especially for such a critical part of the OS.
