To solve this problem, we in Actual Tools have developed a unique function that allows you to change Logon Screen background and added it to the new versions of Actual Window Manager and Actual Multiple Monitors. And now that works on all versions of Windows since Windows Vista.

The main difference from any other software product with similar functions is the ability to replace Logon Screen background image not only on the primary monitor but on all others as well. Furthermore, additional monitors can run slideshows on their backgrounds.

Each of us has ever had a desire to get rid of the annoying Logon Screen background and set something more appealing.
