Windows Vista "Glowing Windows" logo on Windows Server 2008
Hello guys! I'm wondering if i can get the Windows Vista "Glowing Windows Orb/Pearl" animation logo on startup before the logon screen on Windows Server 2008. Because Windows Server 2008 is also NT 6.0.

Re: Windows Vista "Glowing Windows" logo on Windows Server 2
The animation is controlled by authui.dll. I've never fiddled around with it, but that's the direction you ought to look.

If it doesn't work then can we hack Windows Server 2008's authui.dll with things that are needed for Windowd Vista's "Glowing Windows Orb/Pearl" logo?yourepicfailure wrote:You mean server 2008?

I'm not talking about Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, i was talking about the Windows Vista Startup Animation before the welcome screen on Server 2008 R1 (Not R2).sagem wrote:ok I have looked it up and found these useful info

Nothing you linked is actually an animation (that's the key word) shown between boot screen and login screen.

oscarczek has the point. The question isn't how to change the boot animation for any Windows OS, rather how to port the Windows Vista glowing orb animation shown after the boot screen leaves, before the logon screen shows up

It's about the Aero I think. Not DLL with that resource

No. The login "Windows Vista" animation is very well controlled by, and contained within, authui.dll.Lotus Expeditor wrote:It's about the Aero I think. Not DLL with that resource
Images 17000 - 17004 make up the animation sequence.
