It does look pretty cool.
I wanted to ask you where you found the User Account frame for your Project. I looked in authui.dll but only found the bmp Version which doesnt have the transparency. i have the frame for the user account picture (that has transparency), here it is (if it's helpful lol)

hey! i noticed some inaccuracies and i've made a welcome screen that is almost 1:1 to the real thing and i'd like to contribute it, is there any way i can contact you? You can just tell me here about it. If it's about the font being fuzzy this version uses an image instead of a label because text shifts by a couple of pixels during the logon process. But I believe it had more to do with my install as this didn't happen on my laptop. To be safe I also made 2 Versions. alright, so: welcome screen: the text should be Segoe UI, font size set to 24 (atleast in my case) i set the margin to 24,-100,0,0 for the text so it's more or less accurate to windows 7 and the spinner should have it's margin set to -114,-100,0,0 if you have WpfAnimatedGif (i recommend you do for the spinning part), i can send you a link to the progress spinner in a sec i also think the most accurate drop shadow settings are these <DropShadowEffect Direction="-90" ShadowDepth="2" Opacity="0.5"/> as they look very nice and the shadow depth, if i'm not wrong is 1:1 to 7's. logon screen: the logon screen text should also probably have the same drop shadow effect settings as i've said earlier the text box and arrow should be moved up 14 px the text should be Password, not password the switch user button should also be moved up 14px, and you could probably use an image to fix that very very fuzzy text, with that i also took a screenshot of the windows 7 one you could probably use  (attached) password fail: the OK button should be changed, i have these two (active and inactive)
OK button should be pushed down 84 pixels missing icon the text is wrong, use the same drop shadow effect and make the text smaller
i'll still improve this list later but i'm pretty lazy now soooo either way, to compare the accuracy you should do this take screenshot of what you want from 7 (for example, the switch user screen) put it in layer 1, and then get a new screenshot but this time it's of what you made, so your switch user screen as an example, put that as layer two and you make the layer 2 opacity like 50%, so you can see what's different and change it.

Thanks for the response i appreciate it. May I ask what kind of logon project you made? I will work these points through.
I only made the login screen somewhat accurate that password is written wrong must have happened in the process of fixing the shifting text. Everything else was just made without checking where and how exactly it should look. Especially the switch user screen.
As for the spinning circle that is managed by an async function swapping the loading circle frames saved as a png that i got from imageres.dll of course the right size. Lastly the transparrent OK and switch user buttons do not contain the text they are embeded labels in the button. so i can still adjust there.

it was mostly a recreation of what it looked like, with 0 function: but if you'd like i could recreate all the pages pixel perfect for you to use. |

Ive been playing around with the CLS Source Code and wondered if i could make a Windows 7 version by tossing Winforms which is literally garbage and replacing it with Windows Presentation Foundation shortly WPF. And i did.
I posted this in the screenshot section because i want to continue working on it before releasing this. Theres still a few things i want to do before uploading it to github or something. So do not pressure me with when is this going to be released. I still want to work on it a little.
Things working: Login Login password fail Pulling user accounts from the system loading their profile pictures Welcome animation The shutdown context menu button combo works (Its not just one button)
shutdown button restart button switch user
Things missing: no shutdown or restarting screen yet No accessibilitie features or the button that leads to it (I did make the button just made it not visible in case someone knows a little more about that window with the accessibility features.
icon missing on the password fail screen certification check (what do i mean by this the service doesnt check if the program is actually what it was before. I removed it becuase i didnt wanna look into how you add certification to a program)
Issues: Text shifting for some reason on my desktop Window positioning on my desktop Weird issues that didn't occur on my laptop
Things Im not fixing:  Fuzzy scaling
Login:
Switch User:
Welcome Screen:
Pw fail:
shutdown button:
Small Update (Further Updates will be added as quote with Images to the original Post):
1. Text Shadows Updated 2. Fuzzy Text Fixed 3. Played a little with the positioning
1. Text Shadows Updated 2. Fuzzy Text Fixed 3. Played a little with the positioning
Login:
Password Fail:
Will also make a utility in which can change language and the background
you already can easily change the background |

So the exact problem im having is that everything in either a textblock or a label is shifted up by a few pixel before the logon process has ran through. When it logging in everything shifts to its proper position. The window is exceeding the screen by 5 or more pixel however before logged it exceeds still the screen but by not as many pixel. That also changes during the process. That problem only occours on my Desktop. On my laptop its fine although the window also exceeds the screen but always the same amount as on the desktop after its logged in it never changes The position of the text doesnt change because its not responsive. It is you can resize it to any size after logon no problem.
Before Logon:
During Logon (Its not my hand shaking its the window changing size):
I might ask in the developers section but i dont think i will have much luck there.

Changing the Position of the text programmatically would require me to know when that shift occurs but the logon process doesn't always take the same time.
Will put this issue on ice for now and see if people have this issue once I release this maybe I just misconfigured something on my desktop |

yea. I added the shurdown and restarting screen. Although it only works when you shutdown from the logon screen. I also have been working on a cmd installer.
Pressure from exams in school will slow down development for the next 2 weeks. I might release an early version once i get the installer to work reliably
